Answer 1

Answer:

A.

The sound is transmitted through water until it reaches the other whale.

Explanation:

When one whale makes a sound, the sound is transmitted through water until it reaches the other whale. The sound causes a ripple-like effect in the water, producing waves that travel in the water. The waves are heard in all directions. This is why humans can hear the sounds animals make underwater.
