Correct Answer: 17


Solution : The correct option is 17

The sound wave must reach the surface and return in a time interval that our ears can distinguish as different sounds in order for us to detect a distinct echo. Since the sound needs to travel to the surface and back, essentially covering twice the distance, the minimum distance for a detectable echo is often around 17 meters.
