Elephants communicate with:
  • Sonic sound
  • B
    Infrasonic sound
  • C
    Ultrasonic sound
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Sonic sound

Elephants can communicate using very low frequency sounds, with pitches below the range of human hearing. These low frequency sounds$($frequency less than $20\ Hz),$ termed infrasonic sounds, can travel several kilometers, and provide elephants with a private communication channel that plays an important role in elephants complex social life. Their frequencies are as low as the lowest notes of a pipe organ.
