A
Off-grid battery storage systems deployed at household levels.
B
Extra High Voltage power transmission systems operating above 230 kV designed to minimize line losses over long distances.
C
Low voltage local distribution lines used exclusively for residential connections.
D
Renewable energy generation units installed on rooftops.
Correct answer: (b) Extra High Voltage power transmission systems operating above 230 kV designed to minimize line losses over long distances.
Explanation
Option B is correct because EHV transmission systems specifically operate at voltages exceeding 230 kV to optimize long-distance electricity transfer and reduce line losses. Options A, C, and D describe completely different electrical infrastructure components.
