Question

why does noise pollution affect aquatic animals? the barking of pet dogs attract them to the shore. the animals dont like our music. it disrupts sonar and echolocation which rely on sound.

Explanation:

To determine why noise pollution affects aquatic animals, we analyze each option:

• The option about pet dogs' barking is incorrect because pet dogs' barking is not a typical source of noise pollution affecting aquatic animals at a significant scale, and it does not relate to their natural behaviors in water.
• The option about animals disliking human music is a non - scientific and overly simplistic explanation. Aquatic animals' responses to noise are not based on "liking" music.
• Many aquatic animals (like whales, dolphins) use sonar and echolocation (which depend on sound) for navigation, finding food, and communication. Noise pollution can interfere with these sound - based systems, disrupting their normal behaviors.

Answer:

It disrupts sonar and echolocation which rely on sound.
