D. None of the mentioned

Answer: D
Clarification: All are types of DC link.

4. (i) Monopolar DC link has one energised conductor of positive polarity.
(ii) It was ground as return path
Opt the most appropriate.
A. (i) is False & (ii) is True
B. (i) is True & (ii) is True
C. Both are false
D. (i) is True & (ii) is False
