Solution

The correct option is C

Because they can hear the frequencies that are greater than the human audible range


Dogs, Bat, Dolphins and many other animals can hear sound at a very higher frequency than us, allowing them to hear noises that we can't. A dog can hear sounds of frequencies up to nearly 50 kHz, a bat to about 200 kHz, while dolphins can hear sounds of even higher frequencies up to 150 kHz.
