The continuous-time unit impulse signal is applied as an input to a continuous-time linear time-invariant system \( \mathcal{S} \). The output is observed to be the continuous-time unit step signal \( u(t) \). Which one of the following statements is true?
Show Hint
Every bounded input signal applied to S results in a bounded output signal.
t is possible to find a bounded input signal which when applied to S results in an unbounded output signal.
On applying any input signal to S, the output signal is always bounded.
On applying any input signal to S, the output signal is always unbounded.
The Correct Option is B
