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