A finite state machine (FSM) is implemented using the D flip-flops A and B, and logic gates, as shown in the figure below. The four possible states of the FSM are Q_AQ_B = 00, 01, 10, and 11. Assume that X_IN is held at a constant logic level throughout the operation of the FSM. When the FSM is initialized to the state Q_AQ_B = 00 and clocked, after a few clock cycles, it starts cycling through

- A.
all of the four possible states if X_IN = 1
- B.
three of the four possible states if X_IN = 0
- C.
only two of the four possible states if X_IN = 1
- D.
only two of the four possible states if X_IN = 0
