    option (b)

    Explanation:

    Io = 4 A

    Xc = 8 ohm

    The formula for the average power dissipated is given by

    P = Vrms x Irms x cos Ф

    Where, Ф be the phase difference between Vrms and Irms.

    As we know that in case of capacitor, the current leads the voltage by 90 degree, it means the value of Ф is 90 degree.

    Thus, Average power = Vrms x Irms x Cos 90

    Average power = 0 Watt
