Answer: To reduce resistance in order to achieve high efficiency of electrical transmission.

Explanation: Given that the

Power P = Current I^2 x Resistance R

That is,

P = I^2 × R

Also, remember that

P = IV

Where V = voltage.

Looking at the power equations above, we can explain why transmitting electricity at a very high voltage is beneficial. Because Transmitting at very high voltage will make current to be transmitted or flow through the wire with a very small magnitude. Since Voltage is inversely proportional to current from the formula

P = IV

Electricity will flow in any diameter of cable use with a low resistance thereby, increasing the efficiency of the electricity transmission by reducing the heat that might be generated as a result of electrical resistance during the course of transmission.

gavmur [86]
Near the surface of reflection, reflected wave may interfere with incident wave leading to production of constructive and as well as destructive interference. This in turn, can result to resonance as well as enhancement of the sound intensity as the waves of reflection adds to incident wave. Therefore, the girl would higher intensity of reflected waves as compared to incident waves.

Therefore, statement A is correct.
