Detailed Solution

As at one end sting is fixed where node is formed and at other end where it is vibrating antinodes is formed so length of sting is writing as 
 nλ2+λ4=L   λ(2n+14)=L     2πk(2n+14)=3    k=2π(2n+1)12,n=0,1,2.....  k=π6,3π6,5π6,7π6,9π2.....
 
 For above value of k, equations in options (A), (B),(C) and (D), it matches with 
 k=π6,5π6,5π2
Oscillation frequency of sting is given as 
 fvλ=v4L2n+1=v(2n+1)4L ω=2πf=2π(2n+1)24=π(100)2×3(2n+1) ω=100π(2n+1)6  ω=50π3,50π,250π3......
 
 For n=0 and 2  it matches with options (A) and (C). Thus  all these three options can be the correct equations under different resonating conditions of the sting.
