← Nature & AnimalsWhich auditory interference hinders normal hunting in echolocating bats?
A)The moths use ultrasonic jamming✓
B)Humidity affects sonar effectiveness
C)Wind shears scatter sound waves
D)Bright light impairs sensory input
💡 Explanation
Moths using ultrasonic jamming create interference, disrupting the bat's ability to hunt, because auditory masking overrides the bat calls using anti-predator adaptation, therefore reducing detection rather than weather scattering sounds.
