Detailed Solution

The speed of sound is the distance travelled by sound waves per unit of time.
At 0 degree Celsius, the speed of sound in air is around 332m/s.
The speed of sound changes with temperature, humidity, and the characteristics of the medium through which sound is propagating.
The speed increases by approx. 0.6 m/s for every degree-Celsius increase in temperature.

Therefore, 332 m/s is the correct response.
