Correct option is A
The correct answer is: (a) When sound is reflected
An echo occurs when sound waves are reflected off a surface and return to the listener's ears after traveling a distance.
The phenomenon of an echo is a result of sound waves bouncing off surfaces such as walls, cliffs, or mountains and traveling back to the listener's ears.
The time delay between the original sound and its reflection determines the perceived echo effect, with larger distances resulting in longer delays.
