To accurately determine which meaning of "power" the author conveys in the passage, I would need to see the context in which the word is used. However, based on the meanings provided, if the emphasis in the passage is on influence, control, or authority over others, then the appropriate meaning would be:

“the capacity or ability to influence the behavior of others.”

If you can share the specific passage or context, I could confirm this interpretation.
