Can you answer this question from the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge Test?

The correct answer is A. An airplane said to be inherently stable will require less effort to control. If disturbed by a force such as turbulent air, it will tend to return to the original condition of flight with little effort. For further review, read the Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge, Chapter 5.

What is the purpose of the transponder code? The transponder sends the four-digit squawk code and aircraft altitude to air traffic control. The code should always be 1200, unless another code is assigned by ATC. However, if there is an emergency squawk 7500 for hijack, 7600 for communication failure, or 7700 for emergency.
