Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Sound reflected from a distant surface and heard again
Echo = sound reflected from a distant hard surface, returning to the listener.
To be heard as a SEPARATE sound, the echo must arrive at least 0.1 s after the original (this is why echoes need a minimum reflector distance of about 17 m in air).
