The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

In a power transmission system with an idler gear B gears A and C transmit the power and will experience opposite directions of rotational motion The stress on the gears A and C will be reversed in nature because they are engaged in the power transmission process Gear B as the idler gear does not transmit power and does not experience reversed stress
