Solution
The correct option is B split rings In the DC motor, the split rings change the direction of current in the armature coil after every half rotation. It is done to rotate the armature in one direction only. In the absence of split rings, the armature would rotate clockwise for the first half rotation and then counterclockwise for the second-half rotation.
