The volley principle asserts that it is possible to hear sounds higher than 1,000 Hz because:
A) areas far along the cochlea are specially sensitive to frequencies higher than 1,000 Hz.
B) neurons can work together so their combined firing is greater than 1,000 times per second.
C) areas within the ear bounce high frequency sounds back and forth,amplifying them and making it possible for them to be picked up by the basilar membrane.
D) the basilar membrane sends a signal to the brain when sounds are at a frequency higher than 1,000 Hz,and neurons then fire; however,they fire at the same rate for all frequencies over 1,000 Hz.
