luminance luminous intensity

C.

luminous flux

D.

luminous intensity

Correct option is D

Luminous intensity is a measure of power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid angle.

It is given by: I=ϕw where,I is Luminous intensityϕ=Luminous fluxw=solid angle\text{It is given by: } I = \frac{\phi}{w} \text{ where,} \\I \text{ is Luminous intensity} \\\phi = \text{Luminous flux} \\w = \text{solid angle}
SI unit of Luminous intensity is Candela.
