Solution

The correct option is B Sonic boom
The sonic boom is a loud noise of the shock waves created when an object travels through air faster than the speed of sound e.g. supersonic flying jet. It generates an enormous amount of sound energy such as an explosion or thunderclap which can cause cracks in Windows and startle doors. So, the sudden rattling of Windows and doors is due to the supersonic boom.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Sonic boom'.
