Question

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 less likely to hunt in groups, so an individual's success in catching prey would decrease.
B.
C.
Bats would be unable to use echolocation, which would prevent them from finding any prey.
Bats would be more likely to hunt in groups, so an individual's success in catching prey would increase.
Bats would be better able to use echolocation, which would improve their ability to find prey.
D.

Answer 1

Bats would be unable to use echolocation, which would prevent them from finding any prey.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A

Simply the noise from heavy traffic will cause the destructive interference which reduces the echolocation,blocking the echoes and therefore prevent prey location for bats.

Generally this reduces the Bats' population, as some could not rely on the echo to locate the prey, leading to starving and death. Thus each bat needs to rely on the individual echolocation from the prey to survive as new hunting adaptation.Since the echolocations has been blocked
