A.

Electric current travels faster at higher volts 

B.

It is more economical due to less power wastage 

C.

It is difficult to generate power at low voltage. 

D.

Chances of stealing transmission lines are minimized           

Answer ( Option B)

It is more economical due to less power wastage 

Solution

The power is transmitted from a power house at high voltage because in transmission line losses mainly at high voltage is low, as current is low at high voltage which reduce heat loss, skin effect etc. So, it is more economical to transmit power at high voltage.
