The driving power from the prime-mover driving the alternator is lost but the alternator remains connected to the supply network; the field supply also remains on. The alternator will:

A) get burnt
B) behave as an induction motor but will rotate in the opposite direction
C) behave as a synchronous motor and will rotate in the same direction
D) behave as a synchronous motor but will rotate in a reverse direction to that corresponding to
generator action
