Correct answer: C. 170

  • A. 120
  • B. 140
  • C. 170
  • D. 200

Explanation

A jet engine operating with an afterburner produces an exceptionally intense sound level, commonly estimated at about 170 dB at a 100 m distance. The lower values are more typical of less extreme aircraft noise, while 200 dB is unrealistically high for this setting.
