The power of a test is:

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2023 (Tier-II) Paper 1 Previous Year Paper (26-Oct-2023) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

1 - P(Type II error)

The power of a statistical test is defined as 1 minus the probability of a Type II error, which is the probability of failing to reject a false null hypothesis.
