Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 39 (Electronics Information): reduces voltage from primary to secondary
Method
A step-down transformer has fewer turns on the secondary coil than the primary, so the output voltage is lower. Current rises correspondingly, since a transformer changes voltage rather than creating power. Transformers work only on AC and never change frequency.
