Right choice is (b) Difference

Easy explanation: For an independent governor, steadiness can be defined in terms of sleeve lift and change in speed, but however when the governor is fitted into an engine then the sensitiveness is defined as the ratio of the difference between the maximum and minimum equilibrium speeds to the mean equilibrium speed.
