Solution

The correct option is A 20 - 20000 Hz
The hearing is one amongst five senses. The ears are the organ that helps in picking up sound waves and vibrations. The Human ear is unable to hear the sound of all frequency, the range of hearing for a healthy young person is 20 to 20000 Hertz. This frequency is required to generate vibrations in the tympanic membrane. The number of vibrations that are produced per second is a frequency which is measured in Hertz.
Hence, the correct answer is '20 to 20000Hz'.
