The characteristic of the RLC circuit that is typically examined with a step input is the Time Domain Response.

Here's why:

1. A step input is a sudden change in the input signal, from one state to another. This is typically used to test how a system responds to sudden changes.

2. In an RLC circuit, which consists of a resistor (R), inductor (L), and capacitor (C), the time domain response refers to how the circuit responds over time to a given input.

3. When a step input is applied to an RLC circuit, the circuit's response over time (i.e., how the current and voltage change over time) can be observed and analyzed. This is known as the time domain response.

4. Therefore, the time domain response is the characteristic of the RLC circuit that is typically examined with a step input.

The other options, Frequency Response, Harmonic Distortion, and Thermal Response, are also important characteristics of an RLC circuit, but they are not typically examined with a step input.
