The way the question is worded lead me to believe that it is either a test question or a homework question. Hence my response.

It's a test that I've seen @ a community trade college that came up with these question with multiple answers: A)Feeders B)Main C)Service drop D)Branch Circuit. My answer would have been "Service Conductors" Since It's before the disconnect. But it wasn't one of the choices. So I have just posted it up to see if anyone out there agree with the same answer as me.
I am inclined to agree, SE conductor between the Meter and Main. Service conductor before the meter, and Main Power Feeder after the main but before any OCPD's.

I think it's just a poorly worded test question. The only way any of the answers will match the question is to assume that since they say between load side of the disconnect that it'a a meter main or that the main breaker is the disconnect and that it's then feeding a panel that could be main lug only.
If I were taking this test I would use feeder as the answer because it's easy to eliminate the other three as even being remotely posssible.

I agree, and the wording is horrible.
