B) frequency theory
C) place theory
D) volley principle

The volley principle suggests that auditory neurons can fire in sequence, such that a set of neurons fire and have time to recover to create a rapid series of impulses. This allows for the perception of sounds with frequencies higher than an individual neuron could respond to on its own. The other options - overtones, frequency theory, and place theory - refer to other aspects of how our auditory system processes sound, but they do not specifically relate to the sequence firing of neurons.
