Ans – [A]

Explanation – A scram or SCRAM is an emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor, though the term has been extended to cover shutdowns of other complex operations, such as server farms. In commercial reactor operations, this type of shutdown is often referred to as a “SCRAM” at boiling water reactors (BWR), and as a “reactor trip” at pressurized water reactors. In many cases, a SCRAM is part of the routine shutdown procedure as well.
