In FEM, the forced vibrations equation after Finite Element discretization of a structure can be expressed as which option?

(a) Mẍ+Kẋ=F

(b) Mẍ+Kẋ=0

(c) Mẍ+Kx=F

(d) Mẍ+Kx=0

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

My enquiry is from Eigen Value and Time Dependent Problems topic in chapter Single Variable Problems of Finite Element Method

Correct choice is (c) Mẍ+Kx=F

Easiest explanation: The forced vibrations equation after Finite Element discretization of a structure can be expressed as Mẍ+Kx=F where M and K are the mass and stiffness matrices of the structure, F is the external load vector; x and ẍ are the displacement and acceleration vectors. In the forced vibration equation the force vector is non-zero.
