B)its minimum value.
C)its maximum value.
D)None are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Resonance occurs when the external driving force's frequency is equal to the natural frequency of the system. In the case of a harmonic oscillator, this natural frequency is the angular speed at which the oscillator will oscillate without any external driving force. Therefore, choice A) is the correct answer.
