Correct choice is (c) the sleeve for a given rate of change of change

Easiest explanation: Power of Governor: The work done by the governor on the sleeve to its equilibrium position for the fractional change in speed of governor is known as power of governor.

It is actually a work done. Power = Main force × Sleeve movement.
