A

The gain is constant and independent of the differential input voltage.

B

The gain increases linearly with the differential input voltage.

C

The gain is proportional to the rate of change of the differential input voltage.

D

The gain is determined by the feedback resistor only.

Understanding the Answer

Let's break down why this is correct

In a differentiator the op‑amp uses a capacitor in the feedback path. Other options are incorrect because Some think the gain is fixed by resistors alone; It is easy to believe the gain is linear with the input voltage because many amplifiers are voltage‑controlled.

Operational amplifiers (op-amps) are devices that amplify the difference between their two inputs by a large gain factor. They have five terminals, including power supply terminals, inverting and non-inverting inputs, and an output terminal.
