Honestly, I just want to know who came up with these options. 'Nominal voltage' sounds like something out of a physics textbook!

D sounds logical, but I'm not sure it's the best answer. Nominal voltage factors in distribution losses, but that's not the main characteristic we're looking for here.

Nah, C can't be right. Nominal voltage isn't calculated based on the load characteristics of the end-user. That would be too complex and variable.

I think B is the correct answer. In most places, the nominal voltage is fixed at either 380V or 460V, which is a well-known industry standard.

Option A seems to be the most accurate description of nominal voltage. It's the voltage reference published by the power company, which is the standard we all have to work with.
