Answer:

The answer is A. Compound Planetary Gearset.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Compound Planetary Gear block represents a planetary gear train with composite planet gears. Each composite planet gear is a pair of rigidly connected and longitudinally arranged gears of different radii. One of the two gears engages the centrally located sun gear while the other engages the outer ring gear.

Compound planetary gear sets have at least two planet gears attached in line to the same shaft, rotating and orbiting at the same speed while meshing with different gears. Compounded planets can have different tooth numbers, as can the gears they mesh with.
