Answer Notes
A flip-flop is a sequential logic circuit that serves as a fundamental memory element in digital electronics. It is characterized as being "bistable," meaning it possesses exactly two stable states: high (logic "1") and low (logic "0").
Because it can stably hold one of these two binary states until a specific input or clock pulse triggers it to change, it effectively stores one bit of digital data. Options suggesting one, four, or eight stable states are incorrect, as a single flip-flop only stores a single binary value (0 or 1).
