Solution
The correct option is C forced oscillator.
When a periodically repetitive and oscillatory force acts on an object, then the object is forced to oscillate with the frequency of the periodic force. Such oscillation is known as forced oscillation. When an object is displaced from its mean position and allowed to vibrate along its mean position then the object vibrates with its own natural frequency. This is known as free vibration or oscillation. And an oscillation in which the amplitude goes on decreasing with time is known as damped oscillation.
