The slope of log-magnitude asymptote changes by - 40 dB/ decade at a frequency ω1. This means that

A)
a double pole is present
B)
a pole or zero at origin is present
C)
a pair of complex conjugate poles is present
D)
either a double pole or a pair of complex conjugate poles is present

Correct Answer : Option (D) :   either a double pole or a pair of complex conjugate poles is present


Explanation : A double pole or pair of complex poles result in - 40 dB/decade slope in log magnitude graph.
