You are designing an op-amp circuit for a signal amplification application. Which of the following configurations would be the most appropriate for achieving a stable output gain while minimizing distortion and maximizing bandwidth?

The best choice is a non‑inverting amplifier that uses a resistor pair for the feedback network. This configuration keeps the input impedance high, so the signal source is hardly loaded, while the feedback keeps the gain exactly equal to the resistor ratio, giving a stable, repeatable gain. Because the op‑amp’s open‑loop gain is divided by the feedback factor, the closed‑loop bandwidth is increased and the slew‑rate limitation is lessened, which keeps distortion low. For example, using 10 kΩ for the feedback resistor and 1 kΩ for the resistor to ground gives a clean 10× gain with minimal phase shift and a wide bandwidth. This setup is widely used for audio and precision sensor amplifiers.
