This is a very interesting question from Virtual Height in division Virtual Height, Critical Frequency and Muf of Antennas

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Actual height

Best explanation: The height at a point above the earth’s surface at which the wave bends down to the earth is called actual height or true height. Virtual height is greater than actual height. Skip distance is the distance the wave travels from the transmitter to the receiver without touching the ground.
