    We know that s = σ + jω where, σ is known as damping coefficient and
    L {f(t)} = ∫0 f(t) e– st dt
    can be expressed as
    L {f(t)} = ∫0 f(t) e– (σ + jω)t dt
    = ∫0 f(t) e– σt e– jωt dt
    Here factor e– σt factor is called convergence factor.
    Hence alternative (B) is the correct answer.

    Correct Option: B

    Hence alternative (B) is the correct answer.
