The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: \[ [L] = [M L^2 T^{-2} A^{-2}],\quad [C] = [M^{-1} L^{-2} T^4 A^2],\quad [R] = [M L^2 T^{-3} A^{-2}] \]

Step 1:
Compute \(C^2\).
\[ C^2 = [M^{-2} L^{-4} T^8 A^4] \]

Step 2:
Multiply all.
\[ C^2LR = [M^{-2} L^{-4} T^8 A^4] \times [M L^2 T^{-2} A^{-2}] \times [M L^2 T^{-3} A^{-2}] \]

Step 3:
Combine powers.
\[ M^{-2+1+1} = M^0 \] \[ L^{-4+2+2} = L^0 \] \[ T^{8-2-3} = T^3 \] \[ A^{4-2-2} = A^0 \] \[ = [M^0 L^0 T^3] \] Conclusion: \[ {[M^0 L^0 T^3]} \]
