Solution

The correct option is D
Echoes are produced

Reverberation is the persistance of sound due to multiple reflections.Reverberation time is the time taken for the sound to fall below the minimum audibility level from the instant when the source of sound is stopped.Therefore if the reverberation time becomes too large, sound is reflected back from the hard surfaces resulting in an echo.
