For the time domain specifications of the second-order system, drag the correct term in
place:
Peak Overshoot It is defined as the deviation of the response at peak time from the final
value of response.
Settling time It is the time required for the response to reach the steady-state and stay
within the specified tolerance bands around the final value.
Delay Time It is the time required for the response to reach half of its final value from
the zero instant.
Rise Time It is the time required for the response to rise from 0% to 100% of its final
value.
Peak Time It is the time required for the response to reach the peak value for the first
time.
