Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Apparent power in any AC circuit, including a series RC circuit, is given by the product of the RMS (root mean square) voltage and the RMS current, which is represented by the formula V × I. The symbols in choice A (ET × I) are meant to represent voltage (V) and current (I), making it the correct representation for calculating apparent power.
