Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Squirrel-cage induction motors typically operate with a slip of two to five percent under normal load conditions. Slip is the difference between the synchronous speed of the magnetic field and the actual rotor speed, expressed as a percentage of the synchronous speed.
