Option ( D) is correct.
When gear teeth are produced by a generating process, interference is automatically
eliminated because the cutting tool removes the interfering portion of the flank.
This effect is called undercutting. By undercutting the undercut tooth can be
considerably weakened.
So, interference can be reduced by using more teeth on the gear. However, if the
gears are to transmit a given amount of power, more teeth can be used only by
increasing the pitch diameter.

We clearly see from the figure that cylinder can either revolve about x -axis or
slide along x -axis & all the motions are restricted.
Hence, Number of degrees of freedom = 2 & movability includes the six degrees of
freedom of the device as a whole, as the ground link were not fixed. So, 4 degrees
of freedom are constrained or arrested.
