  • A.feedback
  • B.stimulus
  • C.signal
  • D.gain control

Answer: B

An externally introduced signal affecting the controlled output is called a stimulus.

In control-system terminology the stimulus is the independent input applied to a system from outside, the command or disturbance that sets it responding; the system's reaction is the response. A reference input that commands a new output, and a disturbance that upsets it, are both stimuli in this sense.

Feedback is a signal derived from the output and returned inside the loop, so it is not externally introduced. 'Signal' is too general a word to define anything, and gain control is an adjustment of amplification, not an input to the system.
