The most likely medium that represents space or a vacuum is **Medium I**. In a vacuum (or space), there is no air or other mediums to conduct sound, which is why the sound level would be 0 decibels at a distance of 30 meters.
Thus, the correct answer is:
**A Medium I**.
Thus, the correct answer is:
**A Medium I**.
