When you are using recite in its sense of to list or enumerate
a). is correct, but it seems a bit stilted to say "definitely recite" when talking about a system.
More common might be: Please tell me what kind of system it is.
I would definitely like to know what kind of system it is.
Please give me the system's specifications. |

| Thank you. In your example, if the pronoun "it" is changed to "they", would it be: "Please tell me what kinds of systems they are."? |
