131.  A 3-phase synchronous motor with negligible losses is connected to the supply at rated frequency and constant terminal voltage 'V'. The induced emf of the motor is designated as E. If the motor is now gradually loaded to its rated power, adjusting its excitation to obtain, say 0.8 leading power factor operation, then E-phasor would

B. be greater than V-phasor and also lead V-phasor
C. be less than V-phasor and also lag V-phasor
D. be greater than V-phasor and also lag V-phasor

B. Power angle remains same throughout but power factor improves
C. Power angle increases while its power factor gradually decreases
D. Power angle and power factor both increase
