D
10 M
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is capable of carrying more than 900 passengers as a result of the 20% capacity boost, compared to the previous 28 Eurostar trains which carried 750 passengers. The entire propulsion system and technical modules are distributed under the floor over the entire length of the train, providing more space for passengers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Class 170 train is a 100 mph train with a 315 kW engine in each car. In the thirty-six seconds, it would take to cover a mile at 100 mph, a Class 170 train would use 315/100 or 3.15 kWh per vehicle mile. Again this must be a maximum figure. Conversion Of 125 mph Figures to 100 mph Figures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each 30-tonne locomotive had two 110 kW (150 hp) motors run by three-phase 750 V 40 Hz fed from double overhead lines.

Detailed explanation-4: -This locomotive is capable of maximum tractive effort of 706 kN, which is capable of starting and running a 6000 T train in the gradient of 1 in 150. The locomotive with twin Bo-Bo design having 22.5 T (Tonnes) axle load is upgradable to 25 Tonnes with design speed of 120 kmph.
