Which best compares AC and DC?

Answer
A
AC flows in one direction, and DC repeatedly switches direction.
B
DC flows in one direction, and AC repeatedly switches direction.
C
AC is used only in generators, and DC is used only in motors.
D
DC is used only in generators, and AC is used only in motors.

Explanation

Direct current (DC) flows in one direction. Alternating current (AC) periodically reverses direction, so B correctly compares them. The other choices either reverse these definitions or incorrectly claim that each type of current is used only in one kind of device.
