The correct answer is Diopter.

Explanation:

  • The unit of power of a lens is the diopter, abbreviated as "D." 
  • The power of a lens is a measure of its ability to converge or diverge light and is the reciprocal of its focal length measured in meters.
  • The formula to calculate the power of a lens is:

\( {\text{P}} = \frac{{{\text{1}}}}{{{\text{f}}}}\)

  • Where P is the power of lens and
  • f is the focal length.

Thus, Unit of power of the lens is Diopter.
