Answer:

c. Intensity of the lawnmower

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]90 = 10log(\frac{I}{I_o})[/tex]

Required

What does 90 represent

In sound, intensity I (db) is calculated as:

[tex]I\ (db) = 10log(\frac{I}{I_o})[/tex]

Comparing the general formula to the given expression, we have that:

[tex]I\ (db) = 90[/tex]

This implies that 90 represents the sound intensity of the lawnmower.

Option C answers the question

the intensity of the sound of the lawn mower
