Explanation

Options A, B, and C suggest adding damper windings to various parts of the motor to enable self-starting; however, these methods are insufficient. In reality, a synchronous motor cannot start on its own by simply adding damper windings, so none of the above options correctly describe how to achieve self-starting.
