Answer 1

The correct answer is Flip-flop

Key Points

Flip-flop:
- A flip-flop is a bistable multivibrator, a circuit that has two stable states and can be used to store binary information (0 or 1).
- It is the fundamental building block of digital memory elements and is widely used for storing a single bit of data.

Additional Information

Encoder:
- An encoder is a combinational circuit that converts a set of input signals into a coded output representing the input.
- It is commonly used in communication systems and data transmission.
Decoder:
- A decoder is a combinational circuit that performs the opposite function of an encoder. It converts coded input into a set of output signals.
- Decoders are often used in digital systems to select a particular output based on the input code.
Register:
- A register is a group of flip-flops that are used to store multiple bits of data.
- It can be used for various purposes, including data storage, temporary storage during processing, or as part of a CPU to store operands and results of operations.
