Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Energy Efficiency Ratio

Explanation

COP relates useful thermal output to energy input. The corresponding cooling EER expresses the capacity-to-input ratio in a different unit convention, with EER≈3.412×COP for the same cooling basis. Thus B. Heating COP and cooling COP must not be interchanged without accounting for their different useful-output definitions.
