Solution

The correct option is A Hospital and educational institutes
The silence zones are the areas where the permissible limit for noise is 50 dB during the day time and 40 dB during the night time. These are marked by a range of 100 km around the hospitals, educational institutes and courts. Their demarcation is made by the competent authority. Use of horns, loudspeakers, crackers burning etc. are prohibited in the silence zone.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Hospital and educational institutes'.
