The correct answer is: E=E0e-t/t0

The dimensional formula for E=E0e-t/t0 as  e-t/t0 is a dimensionless quantity.

In the question, E and E0 represents the energies. E is the time-averaged energy of the oscillator which is dimensionally represented as ML2T-2 and E0 is the total energy of an undamped oscillator which is represented by E0=12mA2w02, where m is the mass, A is the amplitude, and w is the angular velocity.

The dimensional representation of the total energy of an undamped oscillator is

E0=ML2T-12=ML2T-2

Thus, the dimensional formula is E=E0e-t/t0.
