Which auditory masking occurs when a moth produces ultrasonic clicks?

💡 Explanation

Ultrasonic clicks from the moth cause echolocation signal disruption because they jam the bat's sonar by introducing noise during sound reception; therefore bats struggle to lock onto the moths, rather than employing mimicry or inducing a startle since active jamming is at a similar frequency.
