What role does a transformer play in the supply of electricity over long distances?
A: Transformers decrease voltage so electrical energy can safely be transmitted over long distances through wires.
B: Transformers decrease voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.
C: Transformers increase voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.
