The correct answer is: E. None of the above
An XOR gate recognizes only words with an odd number of 1’s.
An XOR gate is a digital logic gate that implements logical exclusive OR. It performs the logical operation of exclusive OR on its two inputs and produces a Boolean value as output. The output is 1 if the inputs are different, and 0 if the inputs are the same.
For example, if the inputs to an XOR gate are 0 and 1, the output will be 1. If the inputs are 1 and 1, the output will be 0.
An XOR gate can be used to recognize words with an odd number of 1’s. For example, the word “101” has an odd number of 1’s, so an XOR gate would recognize it. The word “010” also has an odd number of 1’s, so an XOR gate would recognize it. However, the word “000” has an even number of 1’s, so an XOR gate would not recognize it.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe what an XOR gate recognizes.
