8. For a given system, Accumulation = Generation – Consumption, where both the terms are distinct and non-zero, then the system is
a) Steady-state
b) Closed
c) Non-reactive
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: There is no mention of input and output so it is a closed system.
