Answer:

C

Explanation:

intensity = Power delivered by the sound (Watt)/ Surounding Area (m²)

I = P/A

A = πr²

r = is the distance between you and the cricket.

so in other form we can get

I = P/πr²

let take I(1) as first intensitilynyou heard and I(2) as the increased intensity.

I(1) / I(2) = r(2)² / r(1)²

1/4 = r(2)²/r(1)²

1/2 = r(2) / r(1)

r(2) = ½ r(1)

or r(2) is decreaases by a factor of 2.
