The correct choice is (d) magnification factor

Best explanation: Magnificiant Factor is the ratio of maximum displacement of the forced vibration (xmax) to the deflection due to the static force F(xo).

             Damping Factor is the ratio of amping coefficient for the actual system, and damping coefficient for the critical damped system.
