The correct choice is (b) 0
To elaborate: When the receiving and transmitting antennas polarization is not matched, the Friss transmission equation includes a polarization loss factor given by cos^2θ. Since one is vertically polarized and other is horizontally polarized, the angle difference is 900. PLF=cos^2θ=0
∴ \(\frac{P_r}{P_t} = PLF\frac{G_t G_r \lambda^2}{(4\pi R)^2} =0\)
So, no power is received.
