Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Universal gates are logic gates that can be used to implement any other logic function. Only NAND and NOR gates are universal because they can be combined to create NOT, AND, and OR gates. XOR, OR, and XNOR are not universal as they cannot implement all basic logic functions alone.
