The correct option is Option D: the approximate loudness of a dinner conversation will be 50Db with a sound intensity 10⁻⁷.

The loudness L, ( which is measured in decibels (Db)), of the sound of the intensity I, can be calculated in watts per square meter,

L = 10 log(I/I₀)

where I₀ = 10⁻¹² which is the least intensity that a human can hear.

The sound intensity of a dinner conversation= I= 10⁻⁷

Loudness L of that conversation = 10 log (10⁻⁷/10⁻¹²)

= 10 log(10⁻⁷⁻⁽⁻¹²⁾)

= 10 log(10⁻⁷⁺¹²)

= 10 log(10⁵)

= 10*5

= 50 Db

Therefore the correct option is Option D: the approximate loudness of a dinner conversation will be 50Db with a sound intensity 10⁻⁷.
