    B)  noise pollution creates nervous disorders

    C)  plants are efficient absorbers of noise of low frequency

    D)  loss of hearing is a common disorder.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : The disturbance produced in the environment by the undesirable loud sounds of various kinds is called noise pollution. The most significant attributes of noise are its loudness and duration. The loudness and the duration are accepted as the criteria for determining the level of noise pollution at a place. Plants are efficient absorbers of noise, especially noise of high frequency. Border planting along highways and streets can be effective not only in absorbing the noise but also deflecting it upward in the air e.g., Asoka tree.
