Right answer is (b) Presence of non-linearities causes malfunctioning

Easy explanation: When the input to a system is independent of the output from the system, then the system is called an open-loop or unmonitored system. It is also called as a calibrated system. Most measuring instruments are open-loop control systems, as for the same input signal, the readings will depend upon things like ambient temperature and pressure.
