Correct answer: (A) It decreases residual steady-state error
Explanation
Integral action accumulates the tracking error, driving a persistent nonzero error into a growing corrective control effort. In the usual stable closed-loop design this reduces or eliminates steady-state residual error. It integrates the error, rather than only input or output. Thus A.
