Bats hunt using echolocation, in which they send and receive high frequency sounds to locate prey. When bats hear the sounds of others, they typically begin hunting in the same area. As the number of bats hunting in the area increases, individuals become more successful at locating and capturing prey. Some populations of bats live in areas with high levels of noise pollution, such as near heavily trafficked bridges. How might the hunting behavior of bats be affected by such an environment? A. Bats would be more likely to hunt in groups, so an individual's success in catching prey would increase. B. Bats would be better able to use echolocation, which would improve their ability to find prey. C. Bats would be unable to use echolocation, which would prevent them from finding any prey. D. Bats would be less likely to hunt in groups, so an individual's success in catching prey would decrease.
