Which attribute of 'Power' is incorrectly stated ?
Answer: B
The attribute incorrectly stated is embodiment of reason.
Power is the capacity to influence or control the behaviour of others, if necessary by sanctions or force. Unlike authority, which is power accepted as legitimate (often backed by law), power as such need not be legal or rational.
So 'capacity to influence', 'based on force' and 'not backed by law' describe power as distinct from authority. 'Embodiment of reason' does not: that is how idealists such as Hegel describe the state, not how political science defines power.
