The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

From the graph (average power in microwatts versus frequency in kHz) the peak is at the resonant frequency \(f_0=5\) kHz with maximum power about 1.0.
The half-power points are where the power falls to about half the maximum (dotted lines near 0.5): at about 3.7 kHz and 6.3 kHz, so \(\Delta f\approx2.5\) kHz.
Quality factor \(Q=\dfrac{f_0}{\Delta f}=\dfrac{5}{2.5}=2.0\).
Answer: (2) 2.0
