The correct answer is: A=XC,B=XL

The formula to calculate the inductive reactance is

XL=ωL   ...1

The formula to calculate capacitive reactance is

XC=1ωC   ...2

As can be seen from equation (1), the inductive reactance varies directly with the frequency and equation (2) indicates that capacitive reactance varies inversely with the frequency.

Hence, curve A represents the capacitive reactance and curve B represents the inductive reactance.
