Complete the sentence: Intuitively or with a dose of creativity, we could conceptualize that the hybrid control system is a DCS in which CLPs are connected. This concept is not new, but rather was introduced in the 80s after the consolidation and dissemination of ________________. By this time, the theoretical concept of the hybrid control system, in practice, was a real nightmare: the engineering required for the configuration of one and the other required memory and a program dedicated to this connection, which was extremely complex and costly.


a) local processing - DCS and CLPs - extremely complex and costly
b) microcomputer-based automation system - DCS and CLPs - extremely complex and costly
c) hybrid control system - DCS and CLPs - extremely complex and costly CORRECT
d) microcomputer-based automation system - redundant equipment - extremely complex and costly
e) hybrid control system - redundant equipment - extremely complex and costly
