With positive clocking the clock signal must be _____ for the flip-flop to respond. A. high B. low C. set D. race E. None of the above

high
low
set
race E. None of the above

The correct answer is A. high.

A flip-flop is a device that stores one bit of data. It has two stable states, which can be represented by 0 or 1. The state of the flip-flop is determined by the input signals and the clock signal.

With positive clocking, the clock signal must be high for the flip-flop to respond. When the clock signal is high, the input signals are sampled and the state of the flip-flop is updated.

When the clock signal is low, the flip-flop is in a hold state. The input signals are ignored and the state of the flip-flop is maintained.

Option B is incorrect because the

clock signal must be high for the flip-flop to respond.

Option C is incorrect because the set state is a stable state of the flip-flop. The flip-flop will not change state if the input signals are in the set state.

Option D is incorrect because a race is a condition that can occur when two or more signals are changing at the same time. This can cause the flip-flop to change state unexpectedly.

Option E is incorrect because the clock signal must be high for the flip-flop to respond.
