D

Answer 1

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.
