After raising e to the power of -4, we get x ≈ 0.0183, which does not match any of the given options. Therefore, the correct solution to the equation ln x = -4.

The correct answer to the given question is option C.

The equation given is ln x = -4. To solve for x, we use the property that if ln a = b, then a is equal to e raised to the b power. In this case, we would raise e to the power of -4 to find the value of x:

x = e^{-4}

Using a calculator, we calculate the value of e^{-4}, which is approximately 0.0183, rounded to two decimal places.

The probable question may be:
