Correct answer is (c) Pickering governor

Easy explanation: A Pickering governor is mostly used for driving gramophone. It consists of three straight leaf springs arranged at equal angular intervals round the spindle. Each spring carries a weight at the centre. The weights move outwards and the springs bend as they rotate about the spindle axis with increasing speed.
