Carrier current over the power line provides simultaneous tripping of circuit breakers at both ends of the line in one to three cycles.
Thereby high-speed fault clearing is obtained, which improves the power system stability.
The auto-reclosing simultaneous reclosing signal is sent thereby simultaneous (1 to 3 cycles) reclosing of the circuit breaker is obtained.
For simultaneous faults, carrier-current protection provides easy discrimination.
As per answer key "pilot protection" is true but there is mistake the right answer is "none".

Conductor with 75 °C temperature rating must have ampacity from the 60°C column or the 75°C column.
It is permissible to use the 75°C rating if the installed conductor is rated at least 75 °C.
Because all of the connection points in this example have at least a 75°C rating, the conductor’s ampacity can be based on the 75°C column
The electrostatic stress in a cable is not uniformly distributed.
The potential gradient is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of the cable.
Hence, it will be maximum (gmax) at the surface of the conductor and goes on decreasing until it becomes minimum (gmin) at the surface of the sheath.
That means electrostatic stress in the dielectric of a cable is maximum at the surface of the conductor and minimum at the surface of the sheath.
