The correct answer is option 2):(While designing a distributor, voltage drop is not considered.)

Concept:

Distributors

  • The distributors are the conductors from which numbers of tapping are taken out for providing power to the consumers. 
  • The design of distribution is done by considering voltage regulation. 
  • Good voltage regulation of a distribution network is probably the most important factor responsible for delivering good service to the consumers. Voltage drop is defined as the difference between sending end voltage and receiving end voltage
  • A distributor is a conductor from which tapings are taken for supply to the consumers. In Fig. AB, BC, CD and DA are the distributors
  • The size of the distributor should be such that the voltage at the consumer’s terminal should be within permissible limits ( ± 6 of the rated voltage ).so option 2 is wrong

Service mains

  • It is conductors which connects between distributors to the consumer’s terminals
