The correct choice is (a) transonic range
For explanation: Based on mach number flow can be subsonic, supersonic, transonic or hypersonic. If flow mach number is <0.8 then it is subsonic. If flow mach number is >0.8 but <1.2 then, it is transonic. If flow mach number is in the range of 1.2-5.0 then, it is supersonic. If flow mach number is <5.0 then, it is hypersonic.
