Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Power is the potential for influence, whereas politics is the exercise or use of that influence. Option A is incorrect because politics is the exercise of power, not the potential for it. Option C is incorrect because authority and entitlement refer to different concepts altogether. Option D is incorrect because entitlement, by definition, does not involve influence or authority.
