Explanation

For oscillations to occur, the total phase shift around the feedback loop must be zero degrees (or an integer multiple of 360 degrees) to ensure constructive interference. Additionally, the loop gain should be equal to or greater than one. Options A, B, and D describe conditions that do not support sustained oscillations, whereas option C correctly identifies the required phase shift condition.
