A: In reality they are never zero but practically guarantee to be virtual zero. It is possible to get rid of the input offset voltage by biasing the circuit, Anyhow op amps have some offset but hardly ever zero.
Input offset voltage is the equivalent voltage at the input of an operational amplifier. If an amplifier has a voltage gain of ten and an input offset voltage of 10 microvolts, a level of 100 microvolts will appear at the output with no input. Manufacturers try to design an op amp so the input offset voltage is as small as possible to minimize this error voltage at the output of the amplifier, especially for applications where small voltages are being amplified.
On a differential amplifier while there is some voltage offset there is also current offset which is dependent on the value of the F/B resistance the bigger value the more offset.
Due to the manufacturing process of op-amps, the differential input transistors may not have exactly the same values, meaning they are not exactly matched. This means that voltage would have to be placed on the non-inverting terminal, with the non-inverting terminal grounded, in order to produce a zero output. The voltage required at the non-inverting terminal in called the input offset voltage.
This DC voltage is called the DC offset. Any decent signal generator will be able to add DC offset to the signal it generates. If you don't have one, simply connect a DC voltage to your signal.

Voltage or current Offset is the voltage or current seen at the outputeven when no input is applied. This happens due to various reasons such as imbalance in the device, asymmetry and many more. So, offset adjustment means, providing the required input externally, so that the output voltage and current are zero.
On a differential amplifier while there is some voltage offset there is also current offset which is dependent on the value of the F/B resistance the bigger value the more offset.
Output offset voltage is the output of an operational amplifier when the two inputs are shorted together (and often tied to ground). >> The output offset voltage (Voo) is caused by mismatching by two input terminals. Even though all the components are integrated on the same chip, it is not possible to have two transistors in the input differential amplifier stage with exactly the same characteristics. This means that the collector currents in these two transistors are not equal, which causes a differential output voltage from the first stage. The output of first stage is amplified by following stages and possibly aggravated by more mismatching between them. Thus the output voltage caused by mismatching between two input terminals is the output offset Voo .
The output voltage of a opamp when the input of inverting and non inverting terminals are grounded
Due to the manufacturing process of op-amps, the differential input transistors may not have exactly the same values, meaning they are not exactly matched. This means that voltage would have to be placed on the non-inverting terminal, with the non-inverting terminal grounded, in order to produce a zero output. The voltage required at the non-inverting terminal in called the input offset voltage.

This DC voltage is called the DC offset. Any decent signal generator will be able to add DC offset to the signal it generates. If you don't have one, simply connect a DC voltage to your signal.
Use a voltmeter with a high input impedance and measure at the source the voltage.
On a differential amplifier while there is some voltage offset there is also current offset which is dependent on the value of the F/B resistance the bigger value the more offset.
Line regulation is a measure of the ability of the power supply to maintain its output voltage given changes in the input line voltage. Line regulation is expressed as percent of change in the output voltage relative to the change in the input line voltage.
