Solution

The correct option is B

c, e, d, b, a, f


Electric power is generated by rotating the turbine. Electric power is generated at the generating station at 11 kV as these stations are located at very far off places from areas where it is to be used. At grid sub-station (power station), this voltage is stepped up from 11 kV to 220 kV to minimize the loss of energy in transmission line wires.
At main sub-station this voltage is stepped down from 220 kV to 66 kV for large-scale industries and to 33 kV / 11 kV for small-scale industries. At distribution transformer or city sub-station, it is further stepped down from 11 kV to 220 V for supply to houses for consumers.

Hence the proper sequence is c, e, d, b, a, f.
