Answer:

The answer would be B. 1 joule/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B because the power in general is normally defined as energy over time. Watts are defined as 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second (1W = 1 J/s) which means that 1 kW = 1000 J/s.

Another reason why it's B is because I had the same exact question in class, I took a screenshot of it a day ago:

Hope this helps
