Which sequence describes how a transformer produces a potential difference across its secondary coil?

[1]
A

d.c. in primary coil →\rightarrow→ constant magnetic field in core →\rightarrow→ p.d. induced in secondary coil

B

a.c. in primary coil →\rightarrow→ current flows through the core →\rightarrow→ p.d. induced in secondary coil

C

a.c. in primary coil →\rightarrow→ changing magnetic field in core →\rightarrow→ p.d. induced in secondary coil

D

changing magnetic field in core →\rightarrow→ a.c. in primary coil →\rightarrow→ p.d. induced in secondary coil
