Correct Answer:
Option B —
Susu
The Ganges River Dolphin (Platanista gangetica) is locally known as "Susu" because of the noise it makes while breathing. This species is unique because it is essentially blind; it hunts by emitting ultrasonic sounds that bounce off of fish and other objects, enabling it to "see" in the murky river water through echolocation.
