Solve this multiple-choice question and check the correct answer with its explanation below.

Answer options

  1. AND and OR
  2. NOT and XOR
  3. NAND and NOR
  4. XNOR and AND

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: NAND and NOR

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) NAND and NOR šŸ“š Explanation: NAND and NOR gates are called universal gates because any other basic logic gate (AND, OR, NOT) can be created by using combinations of only NAND gates or only NOR gates. This makes them highly important in the design of digital circuits and computer memory, as they allow for complex logic using a single type of hardware component.
