The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Decibel**: The first step is to understand what a decibel (dB) is. It is a unit that measures the intensity of sound. 2. **Identifying the Context**: The question asks for the specific measurement associated with decibels. We need to analyze the options provided: Hemoglobin in blood, sugar in wine, sound in environment, and water vapor in air. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Hemoglobin in blood**: This is typically measured in grams per deciliter (g/dL) and not in decibels. - **Sugar in wine**: This is measured in terms of concentration or percentage, not in decibels. - **Sound in environment**: This is where decibels are commonly used to measure sound intensity. - **Water vapor in air**: This is usually measured in terms of humidity or concentration, not in decibels. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that decibels are used to measure the intensity of sound in the environment. **Final Answer**: Decibels are used to measure sound in the environment. ---
