ASaturation
BDamping
CHysteresis

AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Damping. In a closed-loop process control system, damping refers to the progressive reduction or suppression of oscillation in a component. Damping helps stabilize the system and prevent excessive fluctuations around the desired setpoint. The other answer choices are incorrect: A) Saturation refers to the maximum or limiting value that a component can reach, not the reduction of oscillation. C) Hysteresis describes the lagging of an effect behind its cause, not the damping of oscillations. D) Dead band refers to the range around the setpoint where the system does not respond, not the damping of oscillations.
