Heinz M is correct. It's the question which is deficient and out of context. For an amplifier, this ratio is called power gain. For a power supply, it's efficiency but applies only to a specific set of conditions.

The ratio of output to input power is called " Efficiency." In thermodyanamics the efficiency of a heat engine system cannot exceed 50%.
In mechanical system Power is transfered to cause motion however the out put is always less than the input in a nonconservative system.
To analyse the system the ratio of out put to input is called a transfer function. By knowing the transfer function a lot can be determined about the system.

Heinz is wrong as it is a multiple choice question and none of the above is not a choice. answer is efficiency

If you are referring to Horsepower Input and Output, then
(HPout / HPin) *100 = Efficiency in %

If you are thing of engine performance - and you seem to be - then ;
(brake power output)/(indicated power input) = mechanical efficiency.

Clearly, it is efficiency.
Now, I read "Heinz M"s answer and I have to wonder. I can usually agree with and trust his answers. Does he have a better term?

None of the above.
