Answer:

A. A sound wave reaches the ear, and the reflected wave reaches the ear less than 0.1 seconds later,

Step-by-step explanation:

Human hear can not differentiate two successive sounds when the period between the sounds is less than 0.1 seconds.When the distance between the source of sound and the reflecting surface is less than 17 meters, you can't hear any echo.These two factors go together.If the distance is less than 17 meters, the echo will be less than 0.1 seconds thus the ear won't pick it.
