Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Given, ....(i)
Dimensions of dimensions of potential energy
=\left[\right]B=x=\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{LT}^0\right] \thereforeA A B =\left[\mathrm{ML}^{5 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\left[\mathrm{M}^0 \mathrm{LT}^0\right]=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{7 / 2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]
