Solution

The correct option is B 2048 Hz
When a reflecting surface is less than 17 m away from the source, the echo that returns appears to be the original sound, just prolonged. This effect is called reverberation. The time interval between the original sound and the returning echo must be less than 0.1 seconds. It depends on the adsorption coefficient of the material which usually defines at 2048 Hz frequency.
