  1. Because animals are able to detect infrasonic waves produced at the time of tremor.

  2. Because animals are able to detect ultrasonic waves produced at the time of tremor.

  3. Because animals are able to detect audible waves produced at the time of tremor.

  4. All


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Has been seen that the behaviour of animals becomes unusual just before the tremor is felt.This is because animals are able to detect infrasonic waves produced at the time of tremor. Infrasonic waves are waves of frequency less than 20Hz.
