The question asks: 'The threshold of hearing discomfort is generally accepted as ......'.

Because the provided data shows an answer field of 'c. 120 dB' but the answer_options array is empty, there are no explicit multiple-choice options to analyze one by one. This means we cannot map a specific option letter (A, B, C, D) to a stated value within the given choices, which limits our ability to evaluate each alternative as requested.

Nonetheless, we can discuss the concept in general terms. The threshold of discomfort (sometimes associated with the onset of significant auditory discomfort or pain) is commonly discussed in the range around 120 dB SPL (sound pressure level). This level is well above typical safe exposure guidelines and is capable of causing immediate discomfort or potential damage with short exposure.

To understand why 120 dB is a plausible reference point, consider the following:
- Sound levels are measured in decibels (dB SPL), and small increases in dB represent substantial increases in sound energy reaching the ear.
- Human perception of loudness and the risk of auditory damage both rise with SPL; at levels near 120 dB, many individuals begin to experience pain or sharp discomfort, and prolonged exposure can damage the delicate structures of the inner ear.
- Exposure guidelines (from various occupational safety standards) typically set strict limits well below 120 dB for any sustained period, reinforcing that 120 dB is a threshold associated with strong discomfort or potential harm.

If you had the actual answer options, we would map each choice to whether it aligns with the standard reference around 120 dB, or whether it deviates (for example, if someone suggested 100 dB, 140 dB, etc.). The key misconception to avoid is assuming that all high dB levels are equally safe or that discomfort begins at a much lower or much higher level without supporting evidence.

In sum, without the explicit options, we can still anchor the concept: the threshold of hearing discomfort is commonly described around 120 dB SPL, which corresponds to a level where pain and risk of immediate discomfort become prominent, distinguishing it from threshold of pain concepts that some sources place slightly differently (often around 130 dB).
