Correct choice is (a) Capacitive
For explanation: Depending on the length of the dipoles, in different regions they offer different resistances.
In Inactive transmission line region \(L < \frac{λ}{2}\) offers Capacitive Impedance
Active region \(L=\frac{λ}{2} \) offers Resistive Impedance
Inactive stop region \(L > \frac{λ}{2} \) offers Inductive impedance.
