B) Bat
Think about it...
Bats use echolocation, which is basically a super high frequency sound wave, barely audible to humans, to find their food. 67,000 Hz is super high frequency, relative to human hearing of course. Bats would NEED to detect high frequency sounds if they wanted to detect their very own "echos".

C. BAT can detect sound at a frequency of 67,000 Hz.


An elephant's frequency range is 16-12,000 Hz.
A tree frog's frequency range is 50 - 4,000 Hz
A dog's frequency range is 67 - 45,000.
