Solution

The correct option is B 30-60 decibel
A sound's loudness is measured in decibels (dB). Normal conversation is about 30- 60 dB, a lawn mower is about 90 dB, and a loud rock concert is about 120 dB. In general, sounds above 85 are harmful and depends on the length and frequency of the exposure.
