AJet drive
BAzimuthing propulsor
CAzipod propulsor
DCycloidal propeller
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Azipod propulsor. Azipod propulsors are a type of electric propulsion system where the drive motors are located outside the ship's hull, typically in a pod or pod-like structure that can rotate 360 degrees to provide propulsion and steering. This arrangement is considered the proper terminology for this type of electric propulsion system, as opposed to other options like jet drives, azimuthing propulsors, or cycloidal propellers, which have different configurations and characteristics. The other answer choices are incorrect because they refer to different propulsor types that do not match the description provided in the question.
