Answer:

b. Wattage

Step-by-step explanation:

wattage is the amount of electrical power a particular device can be able to use, mathematically wattage is calculated when you know the Current in amperes and the voltage in volts, which is power in watts = current in amperes x voltage in volts. since we expect James' computer is expected to consume more power than before the power supply wattage should be greater than or equals to the wattage of the computer.
