When the coil of a galvanometer settles in equilibrium, how does the deflecting couple compare with the restoring couple?

Correct answer C. It equals the restoring couple

Explanation

The coil turns until the restoring torque of the suspension, which grows with twist, exactly balances the deflecting torque from the current, so at equilibrium the two couples are equal.
