A
Examiners report
Has a negative discrimination index with over 80% of candidates choosing the incorrect answer. The difficulty index is also low. The question states that it is about a direct current electric motor, suggesting that C and D are incorrect so by choosing them it would seem that some candidates are confusing an electric motor with a generator.
