Answer: D) 3730 watts ​

Explanation:

We know the relation:

1 horsepower = 745.7 watts

Then a rated 5 horsepower is 5 times 745.7 watts, this is equal to:

5*745.7 watts = 3728.5 watts

We can round it up to 3730 watts (the nearest tens) so it matches with one of the options.

From this, we can conclude that the correct option is option D; 3730 watts ​
