a20 Hz to 20 kHz
b20 Hz to 50 kHz
c45 Hz to 64 kHz✓ Correct
d10 Hz to 100 kHz
eNone of the above / More than one of the above
Explanation
A cat’s hearing frequency range is approximately 45 Hz to 64 kHz. Note that sound waves can be divided into three categories on the basis of frequency range—Audible waves (20 Hz–20,000 Hz), Infrasonic waves (less than 20 Hz), and Ultrasonic waves (more than 20,000 Hz/20 kHz). Animals like dolphins and bats use ultrasonic waves for echolocation.
