A continuous process is: A. used only for simple tasks B. one that never shuts down C. self-contained in that raw materials enter the process and an identifiable products exits the process. D. used only with analog controllers. E. None of the above

The correct answer is: C. self-contained in that raw materials enter the process and an identifiable products exits the process.

A continuous process is a process that is carried out without interruption. Raw materials enter the process and an identifiable product exits the process. The process is typically automated and controlled by a computer. Continuous processes are often used in manufacturing, chemical processing, and oil refining.

Option A is incorrect because continuous processes can be used for complex tasks as well as simple tasks.

Option B is incorrect because continuous processes do shut down for maintenance and repairs.

Option C is correct because continuous processes are self-contained in that raw materials enter the process and an identifiable product exits the process.

Option D is incorrect because continuous processes can be used with both analog and digital controllers.

Option E is incorrect because continuous processes are a type of process, not a type of controller.
