Explanation:

The correct answer is option "3" i.e., Direct Current Excited Motor 

  • In a Direct Current Excited Motor, also known as a DC-excited motor, the rotor requires a DC (Direct Current) supply to generate the rotor's magnetic field.
  • These motors typically have a wound rotor with damper windings, and the application of DC to the rotor windings creates a magnetic field that interacts with the stator field, producing torque and enabling motor operation.
  • This type of motor is often used in various applications where precise control and dynamic response are essential.
