d) Placing a microphone near a speaker
Comb filtering occurs when a signal arrives at a listener or microphone through multiple paths that differ slightly in time, causing constructive and destructive interference at specific frequencies. Placing a microphone near a speaker can cause the microphone to pick up both the direct sound from the speaker and the reflected sound from the surrounding environment, leading to comb filtering effects.
