Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The main advantage of A.C. power transmission over D.C. power transmission over long distances is that A.C. transmits without much loss of energy.
High voltages can be produced from lower voltages using a transformer. Also, high voltages need to be transmitted over long distances efficiently. Therefore, for the transmission, A.C. can be easier to step up and down compared to D.C. and can be done more effectively with less energy loss. Thus, the main advantage of A.C power transmission over D.C power transmission over long distances is A.C. transmission without much loss of energy.
