Correct answer: C. Ring main system

  • A. Radial system
  • B. Tree system
  • C. Ring main system
  • D. All are equally reliable

A ring-main distribution system can feed a load from either direction, so supply can often continue when one section develops a fault. Radial and tree systems generally have only one supply path and are therefore less reliable.
