    The given signal
    x(t) = 5 (1 + 2 cos 2000 πt) cos 106t
    On comparing this equation with standard AM modulated wave equation
    x(t)=Ac (1 + μ cos ωmt) cos ωct
    we get, μ = 2, which is > 1
    Hence it cannot be recovered by the envelop detector.
    Therefore, choice (C) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: C

    The given signal
