Consider a system where $x_1(t), x_2(t)$, and $x_3(t)$ are three internal state signals and $u(t)$ is the input signal. The differential equations governing the system are given by

$$ \frac{d}{d t}\left[\begin{array}{l} x_1(t) \\ x_2(t) \\ x_3(t) \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l} x_1(t) \\ x_2(t) \\ x_3(t) \end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{array}\right] u(t) $$

Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?

A
The signals $x_1(t), x_2(t)$, and $x_3(t)$ are bounded for all bounded inputs.
B
There exists a bounded input such that at least one of the signals $x_1(t), x_2(t)$, and $x_3(t)$ is unbounded.
C
There exists a bounded input such that the signals $x_1(t), x_2(t)$ and $x_3(t)$ are unbounded.
D
The signals $x_1(t), x_2(t)$ and $x_3(t)$ are unbounded for all bounded inputs.
