There are how many basic types of DC motors?

  1. Two

  2. Three

  3. Four

  4. Five

The correct answer is: Three

Direct current (DC) motors are classified into three basic types based on their construction brushed, brushless, and coreless. Therefore, two answer choices (A and D) are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because there are more than two basic types of DC motors. Option D is incorrect because there are not five basic types of DC motors. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
