(A)

Explanation:

From Ohm's law we know that
V=IR ......(1)
Also we know that Power P dissipated in a circuit is
P=V2R ........(2)

When Voltage V is doubled
from (1) we get
2V=IdR ......(3)
Dividing (3) with (1)
2VV=IdRIR
Id=2I

Similarly from (2) we get
Pd=(2V)2R .....(4)
Dividing (4) with (2) we get
PdP=(2V)2RV2R
Pd=4P
