Solution

The correct option is D Whales and dolphins
Biosonar or sonar system helps dolphins, bats, and a few other vertebrates to detect distant objects by echolocation. These organisms emit high-pitched sounds that bounce off objects in its path and produce an echo back. They respond rapidly to the echo and skillfully avoid obstacles and captures prey. Other organisms can not hear the sound waves or can hear the only limited number of sounds produced by an organism using echolocation. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
