The core of any transformer is laminated so as to (a) reduce the energy loss due to eddy currents (b) make it light weight (c) make it robust and strong (d) increase the secondary voltage

Answer: (a). Changing flux sets up eddy currents in a solid core, wasting energy as heat. Lamination breaks these current paths. So the answer is (a) reduce the energy loss due to eddy currents.
