Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — The voltage supplied to the primary side is greater than the voltage produced by the secondary side.

In a step-down transformer, the primary winding receives the higher incoming voltage while the secondary winding delivers a reduced output voltage, obeying the fundamental electromagnetic induction principles governed by turns ratio.
