उत्तर
a, b and d
Explanation:
As we know that power = `I_(rms)^2R`
So to decrease power loss Irms and R must be lower for a constant power supply. To decrease Irms, Vrms must be increased by step up transformer to get same power in step-up transformer
For a given power level, we find that
P = ErmsIrms ......(Irms is low when Erms is high)
Power loss = `I_(rms)^2` R = low ......(∵ Irms is low)
Now at the receiving end, high voltage is reduced by using step-down transformers.

Long distance power transmissions
The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
