Which symptom indicates that a PID control loop in a chemical reactor is excessively tuned responding violently?

A)Persistent, high-frequency oscillations✓

B)Slow drift toward a steady state

C)Complete output saturation at zero

D)Random, unpredictable output variations

💡 Explanation

When a PID loop is aggressively tuned, large proportional, integral, or derivative gains amplify process noise, causing continuous oscillations around the setpoint because corrections are too strong. The persistent high-frequency oscillations results, rather than slow drift, output saturation or random variations if gains were within stable limits.
