Correct option is (d) Froude or Throneycroft Transmission Dynamometer Dynamometer

To elaborate: Rope brake and Prony brake dynamometers are absorption dynamometers hence they function differently. Froude or Throneycroft Transmission Dynamometer Dynamometer is another name for belt transmission dynamometer.
