B) Sudden changes in system behavior
C) Output oscillations at high frequencies
D) Noise in system signals

7. In a control system, what is meant by robustness?

A) The system's ability to respond quickly
B) The ability of a system to maintain performance in the presence of uncertainties or disturbances

B) Time taken for the system output to reach and remain within a specified range of the desired value
C) Time taken for the system to respond to a disturbance
D) Time taken for the system to start up
