Consider a system where x1(t)x_1(t), x2(t)x_2(t), and x3(t)x_3(t) are three internal state signals and u(t)u(t) is the input signal. The differential equations governing the system are given by ddt[x1(t)x2(t)x3(t)]=[200020000][x1(t)x2(t)x3(t)]+[111]u(t)\frac{d}{dt} \begin{bmatrix} x_1(t) \\ x_2(t) \\ x_3(t) \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} x_1(t) \\ x_2(t) \\ x_3(t) \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} u(t) Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

A
The signals x1(t)x_1(t), x2(t)x_2(t), and x3(t)x_3(t) are bounded for all bounded inputs
B
There exists a bounded input such that at least one of the signals x1(t)x_1(t), x2(t)x_2(t), and x3(t)x_3(t) is unbounded
C
There exists a bounded input such that the signals x1(t)x_1(t), x2(t)x_2(t), and x3(t)x_3(t) are unbounded
D
The signals x1(t)x_1(t), x2(t)x_2(t), and x3(t)x_3(t) are unbounded for all bounded inputs
