Correct answer: A

The Enable (E or EN) pin acts as a master switch for the integrated circuit.

  • Active State: When the Enable pin is "active" (usually logic 0 for active-low or logic 1 for active-high), the multiplexer functions normally, passing the selected input to the output.

  • Inactive State: When the Enable pin is "inactive," the multiplexer is disabled. In this state, the output is typically held at logic 0 or placed in a high-impedance state (Hi-Z), regardless of what is happening at the selection or input pins.
