To solve this question, we need to understand the conversion between dyne and newton.

1 dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system. The equivalent force in the International System of Units (SI) is the newton (N).

The relationship between dyne and newton is:

1 dyne = 10^(-5) newton

This means that one dyne is equal to 10 to the power of -5 newton.

Therefore, the correct answer is: d) 10^(-5) newton.
