Answer: d. Krakatoa

The volcano on the Indonesian island of Krakatoa erupted at
10.02 a.m. on August 27, 1883, producing the loudest sound ever recorded.
Two-thirds of the island collapsed as a result of the explosion, and tsunami
waves as high as 46 metres (151 feet) shook ships as far away as South Africa.

The explosion was claimed to have been heard 4800 kilometres
(3000 miles) distant, with witnesses describing it as “cannon fire from a
nearby ship.”
