Answer:

A. damage to the hair cells near the oval window in the cochlear duct

Explanation:

High frequency sounds are sounds received  from the range between  2,000 to 8,000 Hertz (Hz). Hearing impairment which causes inability to hear sounds within this range is termed as High Frequency Hearing Loss.

This situation occurs when sensory hearing cells also known as stereocilia within the ear's cochlea are damaged or dead. The role of the hairs cells are to create electrical impulses from the sounds that are collected by ears.
