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.

What are chromatids and how do they differ from chromosomes
Molodets [167]
Chromatids are only called as chromatids when they are sister chromatids, meaning that when chromosome have two double stranded DNA attached together, each of the double stranded DNA is a sister chromatid, and while the whole thing (the two sister chromatids that are attached together) is called a chromosome.

So after the DNA has been replicated, the chromosome consist of 2 sister chromatids, attached to each other at their centromere.

Overall, sister chromatid is one of the two double stranded DNA in a replicated chromosome, and chromosome is the whole "X" shape that we see. For example, in humans, after the S phase of interphase in the cell cycle, we have 46 chromosomes, with 92 chromatids, since each chromosome is an "X" shape, by having two sister chromatids.

Hope this helps!
