High frequency sound waves are perceived as a different pitch than low frequency sound waves because the high frequency waves:
A. travel a shorter distance in the cochlea and thus activate different auditory hair cells.
B. travel a longer distance in the cochlea and thus activate different auditory hair cells.
C. activate the same auditory hair cells, but at a higher amplitude.
D. activate the same auditory hair cells, but at a lower amplitude.
E. None of the above.
