Correct answer: A. Peak load plant
- A. Peak load plant
- B. Base load plant

Explanation
A peak-load plant operates only when demand is high, so its average load remains below its maximum demand and its load factor cannot reach 100 percent. Base-load plants are designed for nearly continuous operation.
