    What is a 'flip-flop' in digital electronics?

    a)
    A circuit that oscillates between two states to generate a clock signal.
    b)
    A circuit that can store a single bit of binary data.
    c)
    A combinational logic circuit that performs addition.
    d)
    A type of amplifier used in I/O ports.

    Explanation

    A flip-flop is a fundamental building block of sequential logic circuits, which have memory. It has two stable states and can be used to store state information (a 0 or a 1). Registers and SRAM are built from large numbers of flip-flops.
