← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when the gleaning bat uses sonar?
A)Passive listening alerts to prey
B)Substrate-borne vibrations locate insects
C)Echolocation pinpoints motionless insects✓
D)The bat navigates during daylight hours
💡 Explanation
The bat uses echolocation to actively locate and identify motionless insects attached to surfaces; because it emits sound pulses, this detects prey via returning echoes. Therefore, the bat uses sound waves; rather than vibrations or passive listening which relies on existing, independent signals from prey.
