B Correct answer
Explanation

A person who has hearing within the normal range can hear sounds that have frequencies between 20 Hz to 20,000  Hz. This frequency range is called audible frequency range. Since the frequency 30,000 Hz is above the audible frequency range human ear cannot audible it clearly.

A Correct answer
Explanation

Human ear can hear sound having frequency range from $20 \ Hz$ to $20 \ kHz$.

So, human beings can't hear sound having frequency below $20  \ Hz$ and above $20,000 \ Hz$.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The frequency range of human hearing is about 20 Hz to 20 KHz. This range of frequency is known as audible range. Human cannot hear the sound with frequency above or below this audible range. Hence the sound with frequency 30,000 Hz cannot audible to human ear
