Peak-to-peak
A measure of the amplitude of a waveform, indicated by the difference between its maximum and minimum values.
RMS
Root Mean Square, a statistical measure of the magnitude of a varying quantity, used especially in electrical engineering to quantify the average voltage or current of alternating current (AC).
Full-wave
A method or device that converts the entire cycle of an AC waveform into a unidirectional flow of current.
- Analyze and differentiate peak, RMS, peak-to-peak, and average values in circuits with alternating current.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The average voltage of a full-wave rectified signal is given by V_avg = (2*V_rms)/π. For a 240 V RMS AC voltage, V_avg = (2*240)/π ≈ 216.17 V.
