Answer»

Correct answer is (B) Large wind turbine

Easy explanation: The rate of rotation of large wind turbine GENERATORS operating at rated capacity or below is CONTROLLED by varying the PITCH of the rotor blades. It has low rpm, about 40 to 50. It is necessary to increase greatly the low rotor rate of turning using transmission mechanism.
