<h2>Option 1 is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Power of heater, P = 1790 W

Time used, t = 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 = 24 x 3600 s

We have the equation

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}$

We need to find energy,

Substituting

$\texttt{Power}=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\1790=\frac{\texttt{Energy}}{24\times 3600}$

Energy = 1790 x 24 x 3600 J

Option 1 is the correct answer.
