Stalls are about the combination of angle of attack and the power setting driving the aircraft. A power-on stall occurs when you have high thrust but the nose is pitched up, raising the angle of attack toward the critical value during climb or during a go-around; the wing stalls despite the engine being producing a lot of power. A power-off stall happens when the power is reduced and you’re in a glide or descent, so airspeed bleeds off and the angle of attack climbs until the wing stalls.

The correct description states that a power-on stall occurs when climbing with high power and high angle of attack, and a power-off stall occurs in a glide with reduced power. Other scenarios mix up the power setting or flight condition and don’t align with how stalls typically develop.
