Hint Standby power is the power consumed by the electrical appliances when they are switched off, but also they consume some amount of energy, this is called standby power. Here in this question standby power concept is used.

Complete answer:
Here in this question, the electrical appliance asked is TV so the consumed power will be 10watts so the correct answer to this question is the second option that (b) 10 watts. Energy management is the topmost issue everywhere.

The main motto of saving energy is to save our future generation and we should save important resources which are already present in a very less amount for our future generations.

To do this we should consume fewer resources when they are not in need like when the electrical appliances are switched off, they should be unplugged from the electrical sockets, to save some amount of energy.

As it is known that standby power is present in some of the appliances, which consume some of the energy when the electrical appliances are not in use.

We should take some of the initiatives to save energy like the power of the TV should not be on, when the TV is not in use, because at that time the TV is consuming some amount of power and that is the waste of the energy resources.

Note: When TV is not in usable condition, the power should not be on, if it is in condition it will consume some power of 10 watts. Wastage of energy generally leads to faster consumption of the energy which basically will lead to the suffering of the future generation.
When the electrical appliances are not in usable condition, then also they consume some amount of energy that is the standby power. Standby power main advantages include reducing the delay when the appliance with standby power is started on.
