The correct answer is A. Decibel.

The intensity of sound is measured in decibels (dB), which is a logarithmic unit used to quantify the relative loudness of a sound. The decibel scale is commonly used in acoustics and represents a ratio between the sound intensity being measured and a reference level. It is a unit that allows us to express a wide range of sound intensities, from the faintest whispers to the loudest sounds.
