Answer:

B. i only

• The main spring (usually housed in a drum) is the "engine" of the carriage. It is connected to the carriage by a sturdy silk or nylon drawband. • This spring is kept under constant tension; its sole job is to pull the carriage toward the left so that the next character space is ready for typing.
