Correct answer: B. rails

  • A. neutral wire
  • B. rails

  • D. common earthing

Explanation

In the usual tramway single-wire system, the overhead conductor supplies current and the running rails carry the return current to the substation. The rails therefore form the return circuit rather than a separate neutral wire.
