Soft iron is used in many parts of electrical machines because it exihit

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

High permeability and low hysteresis loss

Option D (High permeability and low hysteresis loss) is correct because soft iron is easily magnetized and demagnetized, which is due to its high permeability and low hysteresis loss.
