Solution

The correct option is C Terminal voltage will be less than excitation emf in case of prime mover fails.

(a, b)
When prime mover fails real power delivered by alternator is zero as there is no losses, the real power required by machine is zero but current direction will change and machine will act as motor at leading pf and at no losses the pf will be zero. So terminal voltage will be less than excitation emf in case of leading pf.
