A
It converts a variable voltage, variable frequency DC power to fixed voltage, fixed frequency DC power
B
It converts a variable voltage, variable frequency AC power to fixed voltage, fixed frequency DC power
C
It converts a fixed voltage, fixed frequency DC power to variable voltage, variable frequency AC power
D
It converts a fixed voltage, fixed frequency AC power to variable voltage, variable frequency AC power
Solution:

A cycloconverter or a cycloinverter converts a constant voltage, constant frequency AC waveform to another AC waveform of a lower frequency by synthesizing the output waveform from segments of the AC supply without an intermediate DC link.
