The text states that sound moves at a faster speed in the water than in air. However, the distance that sound travels relies mostly on which two factors?
A ocean temperature
B time of year
C location of closest coastline
D wind gusts
E pressure

The correct answer is A ocean temperature and E pressure.
Sound travels faster in water, but the distance it can travel is influenced primarily by the temperature of the water (colder water can slow down sound) and the pressure (which increases with depth, affecting sound speed). Both of these factors impact sound propagation in aquatic environments significantly.
