The correct option is (a) ^ʎ⁄4
To elaborate: Marconi antenna is like a vertical wire having length one fourth of the working wavelength. Thus, it is a quarter-wave monopole antenna. Since, it was invented by Guglielmo Marconi, so it’s also called Marconi Antenna. It requires a ground plane with very good conductivity. Hence it is also called as a grounded antenna.
