Correct Answer: Option C — The motor will automatically restart when power is restored.
Low-voltage release control schematics maintain closed control paths during momentary power losses, allowing connected auxiliaries to restart automatically upon voltage recovery. This design ensures uninterrupted operation of essential marine services where automatic restart is prioritized over manual supervisory control.
