Solution

The correct option is C both (A) and (B)
Folded dipole antenna consists of a basic dipole with an added conductor connecting the two ends together to make a complete loop of wire or another conductor. As the ends appear to be folded back, the antenna is called a folded dipole.
It has an advantage of high input impedance for best matching with increased bandwidth over a simple dipole.

An electric dipole of momentum $\to p$ is placed in a uniform electric field. The dipole is rotated through a very small angle from equilibrium and is released. Prove that it executes simple harmonic motion with frequency $f = \frac{1}{2 π} \sqrt{\frac{p E}{I}}$ . Where, $I =$ moment of inertia of the dipole.
