← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence arises when a moth employs 'phantom' echoes against the sonar of an attacking bat?
A)Predator achieves successful prey capture
B)Bat's signal experiences excessive attenuation
C)Prey detection range becomes elevated
D)Bat's perceived target shifts randomly✓
💡 Explanation
The 'phantom' echoes induce a false localization, because acoustic interference is the dominant signal processing mechanism. Therefore, the bat misinterprets the moth's position, rather than failing to detect the faint moth echoes due to signal attenuation.
