Which description best matches a radial distribution line?

Radial distribution lines are arranged with a single direct path from the substation to each customer. This means there’s one uninterrupted route for power to flow, with no alternative loops or parallel paths. The description that best matches this is the one describing a single uninterrupted path from substation to customers. The other options describe networks with multiple paths—loops, rings, or meshes—which provide alternative routes and are not radial.
