detailed solution

Correct option is C

The viscous drag force, F=6πηrvwhere v= terminal velocity∴The rate of production of heat = power                                                                     = force ×times terminal velocity⇒ Power =6πηrv·v=6πηrv2∵ Terminal velocity v=2r2(ρ-σ)g9η;∴  v∝r2 Now, power =6πηr4r4(ρ-σ)281η2g2 or    Power ∝r5 .
