Which outcome results when an operational amplifier (op-amp) configured as a comparator exceeds its slew rate limit?

A)Output signal distorts severely
B)Amplifier oscillates unstably
C)Input bias current increases linearly
D)Thermal runaway begins rapidly

💡 Explanation

When an op-amp's input signal changes faster than its slew rate allows, the output cannot keep up, because the saturation mechanism limits the output voltage change; therefore severe distortion occurs, rather than oscillation which results from feedback, or thermal runaway.
