The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Controllers are named based on the terms they use to calculate the output based on the error signal (e = setpoint - measured value)
- Proportional (P) controller: Output \(\propto\) e (One term)
- Proportional-Integral (PI) controller: Output \(\propto\) e + \(\int e \, dt\) (Two terms)
- Proportional-Derivative (PD) controller: Output \(\propto\) e + \(de/dt\) (Two terms)
- Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller: Output \(\propto\) e + \(\int e \, dt\) + \(de/dt\) (Three terms)
Therefore, the PID controller produces an output based on three terms: proportional, integral, and derivative of the error
