A Correct answer
Explanation

Helicopters typically have two rotors spinning in opposite directions to counteract torque. The main rotor generates lift and torque, while the tail rotor (or a second main rotor in designs like tandem helicopters) provides counter-torque to prevent the helicopter from spinning uncontrollably. This is a fundamental principle of helicopter flight mechanics.
