The correct answer is option 3):(SSR has no moving parts. )

Concept:

  • A solid state relay  is an electronic switching device that switches on or off when an external voltage (AC or DC) is applied across its control terminals. 
  • A Solid State Relay is a relay that does not have a moving contact.
  • The input circuit consists of a LED which is triggered by the input voltage. Then, there is isolation between input and output circuits. The output circuit consists of a photo-coupler for capturing the light and converting it into electrical energy for the load drive circuit (consisting of either triaHc, diodes, transistors, or thyristors).The solid state device shown in figure

  • Hence option 3 is correct
