Answer:

C. THE WAVES SPEED UP

Explanation:

C. The waves speed up.

Seismic waves travel faster through denser materials, such as rock, compared to less dense materials like sand. Therefore, as the seismic waves move from the sandy desert region to the rocky region, they will speed up due to the denser nature of the rock.
