In current commutated DC–DC choppers, when does a voltage spike appear across the load?

Correct answer C. Both A and B

Explanation

When the main thyristor turns off, the commutating inductor's voltage collapses and the charged capacitor voltage adds to the supply, so the load briefly sees a voltage above the supply.
