The correct choice is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.

In fact, the beat frequency is given by the difference between the frequencies of the two waves:

[tex] f_B = |f_1 -f_2| [/tex]

In this problem, the beat frequency is [tex] f_B=20 Hz [/tex], therefore the only pair of frequencies that gives a difference equal to 20 Hz is

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz.
