D)half- wave rectifier

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A center-tapped full-wave rectifier uses a transformer with a center tap on the secondary winding along with two diodes. Each diode conducts during one half of the AC cycle, allowing the circuit to rectify the entire waveform with both halves, unlike a half-wave rectifier that only uses one half. This description matches the operation of a center-tapped full-wave rectifier, distinguishing it from the other options listed.
