Electric power is not inversely proportional to any of the options listed. Instead, electric power is directly proportional to both current and voltage and is independent of resistance and temperature.

The mathematical relationship for electric power is given by the equation:

Power (P) = Current (I) x Voltage (V)

This equation shows that power is directly proportional to both current and voltage. If either the current or the voltage increases, the power will also increase. Conversely, if either the current or the voltage decreases, the power will decrease.

Resistance (R) and temperature (T) are not directly related to the electric power. Resistance affects the current and voltage in a circuit but does not directly impact the power. Temperature can affect the resistance of some materials, but it does not have a direct relationship with electric power either.

Therefore, the correct answer is none of the options provided.
