The correct response is: The sound waves are spread out over a large area.
As sound waves travel away from the bat, they disperse in all directions, causing the intensity of the sound to decrease with distance. This phenomenon is known as the inverse square law, where the sound energy spreads over a larger area, leading to a weaker sound intensity at greater distances.
