B Correct answer
Explanation

The Ferranti effect is the rise in voltage at the receiving end of a lightly loaded transmission line due to the capacitive charging current dominating over inductive voltage drop. This happens when the line is long and lightly loaded because the shunt capacitance causes leading current that charges the line. Under heavy loading, the inductive effect dominates and voltage drops.
