    B. 2.5 W

    Explanation:

    Power: This can be defined as the rate at which energy used or it i the rate at which work is done. The S. I unit of power is Watt (W).

    Mathematically,

    Power = Energy or work/Time

    P = W/t ... Equation 1

    Where P = power used to perform the task, W = work, t = time.

    Given: W = 50 J, t = 20 s.

    Substitute into equation 1

    P = 50/20

    P = 2.5 W.

    Hence the power is 2.5 W.

    The right option is B. 2.5 W
