Debey-Hückel screening length $\left(\kappa^{-1}\right)$ is a measure of size of diffuse ion cloud around an ion, provided $\sqrt{\frac{2 e^{2} N_{A}}{\varepsilon_{0} k_{B} T}} \approx 30\left(\mathrm{nm} \sqrt{\text { molkg }^{-1}}\right)^{-1}$ at 298 K , which of the following values of $\kappa^{-1}$ is true for a 0.03 molal solution for $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$ in water $\left(\varepsilon_{r} \approx 100\right)$ ?
(a)$\frac{10}{9} \mathrm{nm}$
(b)$\frac{9}{10} \mathrm{nm}$
(c)$\frac{10 \sqrt{2}}{9} \mathrm{nm}$
(d)$\frac{9}{10 \sqrt{2}} \mathrm{nm}$
