Solution

The correct option is A rhinoceros
Answer is A.
Rhinos have extremely good ears, picking up infra-sound far deeper than the range of human hearing.
Rhinos, can hear down to a frequency of four hertz, whereas even a human baby, with entirely undamaged ears, can normally only pick up sounds as low as 20 hertz. Giraffes and elephants can also hear in this infra-sound range.
