The correct answer is option 1):(15 A)

Concept:

The power rating 

P = V I cos ϕ 

where

V is the voltage

I is the current 

Calculation:

P = 3 × 1000 W

V = 230 V

3 × 1000  = 230 × I

I = \( 3 \times 1000 \over 230\)

= 13.043 A

The cable rating suitable for connecting a load of 3 kW to a single-phase supply of 230 V is 15 A
