← Nature & AnimalsWhich auditory masking occurs when a moth produces ultrasonic clicks?
A)Echolocation signal disruption✓
B)Predator call mimicry
C)Startle response enhancement
D)Thermoregulation heat dissipation
💡 Explanation
Ultrasonic clicks from the moth cause echolocation signal disruption because they jam the bat's sonar by introducing noise during sound reception; therefore bats struggle to lock onto the moths, rather than employing mimicry or inducing a startle since active jamming is at a similar frequency.
