Which of the following conditions will occur if the brake solenoid coil burns out on a cargo winch with an electrical brake?

Correct Answer: Option C — The brake will be set by spring force.

Marine cargo winch electric brakes are spring-set and electrically released via a brake solenoid. If the solenoid coil burns out, the electromagnetic force is lost, allowing heavy internal springs to immediately clamp the brake disc and halt winch operation safely.
