    Question

    Among the given options, which one causes an echo?

    A.

    When sound is reflected

    B.

    When sound waves travel through a solid medium

    C.

    When sound waves travel through a liquid medium

    D.

    When sound waves travel through a vacuum

    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.
