AI Explanation

The correct answer is B. This is because when the start button is depressed, the voltmeter should read the voltage at point B, which is the input voltage to the control circuit. The other points (A, C, and D) are internal to the circuit and would not directly indicate the input voltage. The other options are incorrect because A, C, and D do not represent the input voltage to the circuit, which is the key parameter being measured when troubleshooting the control circuit.
