Q. Antenna is

A) Inductive
B) Capacitive
C) Resistive above its resonant frequency
D) Resistive at resonant frequency
Explanation

(d) An antenna is a form of tuned circuit consisting of inductance and capacitance, and as a result it has a resonant frequency, at the frequency where the capacitive and inductive reactance’s cancel each other out. At this point the antenna appears purely resistive, the reactance being a combination of the loss resistance and radiation resistance.
