Correct Answer: Echo location
Solution : The correct answer is Echo Location.
The process by which an animal generates sound waves and listens to the echoes that return from objects in the surroundings is known as echolocation. Echolocation is used by bats and dolphins to generate a mental map of their environment, which helps them navigate, hunt, and avoid obstacles. Bats produce high-pitched sound waves via their mouths or nostrils. Sound waves move through the air and bounce off of nearby objects. The bats then listen to the returning echoes. The timing and volume of the echoes inform the bats about the distance and material of an item.
