The correct answer is

a-(iii), b-(i), c-(iv), d-(ii)

Sort the four transforms by the order of their pole at Z = 1 — that single observation matches three of them at once.

SignalSampled sequencePole structureTransform
U(t)1, 1, 1, …single pole at Z = 1(iii)
t0, T, 2T, …double pole at Z = 1(i)
t20, T2, 4T2, …triple pole at Z = 1(iv)
e−at1, e−aT, e−2aT, …pole at \(Z=e^{-aT}\)(ii)

So the answer is a-(iii), b-(i), c-(iv), d-(ii) — option 3.

Why the pole order rises with the power of t. Each extra factor of t is generated by differentiating with respect to Z, and every differentiation raises the order of the pole by one. Starting from the step,

\(Z\{u(nT)\}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}Z^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{1-Z^{-1}}=\dfrac{Z}{Z-1}\)

a geometric series, convergent for |Z| > 1. Applying the multiplication-by-n property \(nx(n)\leftrightarrow-Z\dfrac{dX}{dZ}\) gives the ramp with its squared denominator, and again gives the parabola with a cubed one. Counting the exponent in the denominator therefore identifies the signal immediately.

The exponential is the odd one out, and the easiest to place. It is the only transform whose pole is not at Z = 1. Summing the geometric series with ratio \(e^{-aT}Z^{-1}\),

\(Z\{e^{-anT}\}=\dfrac{1}{1-e^{-aT}Z^{-1}}=\dfrac{Z}{Z-e^{-aT}}\)

Spotting the lone \(e^{-aT}\) in item (ii) pairs it with (d) at a glance and removes options 1, 2 and 4 in one step.

The dimensional check. Note how the sampling period T appears exactly as often as the power of t: none for the step, one T for the ramp, T2 for the parabola. Since the transform of t must carry the units of time, this is another way to confirm the pairing.

The mapping to remember. A pole at Z = 1 is the discrete counterpart of a pole at s = 0, and in general \(z=e^{sT}\) — which is why \(s=-a\) becomes \(z=e^{-aT}\), and why the stable left half plane maps into the unit circle.

Hence, the correct matching is a-(iii), b-(i), c-(iv), d-(ii).
