Answer:

Newton/sec is not appropriate unit for power.

(d) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Power :

Power is equal to the energy divided by time.

In mathematical term,


P=(E)/(t)

Where, E = energy

t = time

The unit of power is Joule/sec.

The power is equal to the work divided by time.

In mathematical term,


P=(W)/(t)

Where, W = work

t = time

The unit of power is Watt.

Therefore,

The unit of power is watt, horsepower and joule/s.

Hence, Newton/sec is not appropriate unit for power.
