D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 850 km. Blue whale vocalizations are the loudest sounds made by any animal, reaching up to 188 decibels. These low-frequency calls can travel hundreds of kilometers through ocean water because water conducts sound much more efficiently than air. Some scientists estimate whale calls can travel up to 1,000-1,500 km under optimal conditions, though 800-850 km is a commonly cited range in educational materials.
