The complementary function solves the homogeneous equation \( y'' + 16y = 0 \). Here, the characteristic equation is \( r^2 + 16 = 0 \), giving roots \( \pm 4i \). The solution is:
\( y_c = A \cos(4x) + B \sin(4x). \)

(B) Availability can neither be negative nor positive.
(C) Availability is the maximum theoretical work obtainable.
(D) Availability can be destroyed in irreversibility's.
