D Correct answer
Explanation

Using transmission line reflection: initial incident voltage V_i = 30V. At load: V_L = V_i + V_r = V_i(1+Γ) = 40V, so Γ = 1/3. Reflection coefficient Γ = (R_L - Z_0)/(R_L + Z_0). Solving (R_L - 50)/(R_L + 50) = 1/3 gives R_L = 100Ω.

B Correct answer
Explanation

In steady state, the transmission line acts as a short circuit. Total circuit resistance = R_source (0Ω) + R_L = 100Ω. Current I = V/R = 30V/100Ω = 0.3A. The transient behavior settles to DC values determined only by source and load resistance.
