Answer:
A) 
Explanation:
Since a = g - bv,
We can substitute a = dv/dt into the equation.
Then, the equation will be like dv/dt = g - bv.
So we got first order differential equation.
As known, v = 0 at t = 0, and v = g/b at t = ∞.
Since
⇒ 
So take the integral of both side.

Since for t=0, v = 0 ⇒ 

I believe it is Acoustics, the real name for it would be like Reverberation. But go with Acoustics. :)
No the only thing that affects it is how it is built
