Solution

The correct option is A True
Audible range of frequency for human ear is 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Humans cannot hear sounds having frequency other than this range.
Sounds having frequency lower than 20 Hz are known as infrasonic sounds and that having frequency greater than 20 kHz are known as ultrasonic sounds. Thus, humans can neither hear infrasonic nor ultrasonic sounds.
