Question

The lines having R, L, C distributed along the circuit are called

(a) Lumped

(b) Distributed

(c) Parallel

(d) Paired

I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

The origin of the question is Transmission Line Primary Parameters in section Transmission Lines of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer 1

Correct answer is (b) Distributed

To elaborate: In distributed lines, the primary parameters are distributed along the circuit with each elemental length having its own values and the concentration of the individual parameters is not possible. An example is the transmission of power.
