Explanation

Option A is incorrect because the reluctance-start motor is not identical to a reluctance motor. Option B is true since it essentially behaves as an induction motor initially, not a synchronous one. Option C is correct because its working principle is similar to that of a shaded pole motor. Option D is also true as the air gap between the rotor and salient poles is non-uniform.
