Which of the following quantities does $NOT$ change due to the damping of oscillations?

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is attached to a spring (of spring constant $k$) and has a natural angular frequency $\omega_0$. An external force $F(t)$ proportional to $\cos \omega t$ (where $\omega \neq \omega_0$) is applied to the oscillator. The displacement of the oscillator will be proportional to:
