The correct answer is (c) isochronous

The best explanation: If the controlling force line for a spring controlled governor when produced intersects the Y-axis at the origin, then the governor is said to be isochronous.

A spring controlled governor is said to be stable if the controlling force line when produced intersects the Y-axis below the origin.

If the controlling force line for a spring controlled governor when produced intersects the Y-axis at the origin, then the governor is said to be unstable.
