The answer is # "option (c)"#

Explanation:

Let the cross section of the pipe be #=(a)m^2#

Let the density of water be #=(rho)kgm^-3#

The speed of the water is #=(v)ms^-1#

The mass of water transported is

#q_m=(varho) m^3s^-1#

The kinetic energy of the water is

#KE=1/2xx(varho)xxv^2Js^-1#

This is the power

#P=1/2arhov^3W#

Therefore,

The power is proportional to #v^3#

The answer is # "option (c)"#
