Which of the following statements concerning analog and digital devices is correct?

AThere are no basic differences between the two systems.
BAnalog devices are superior in accuracy compared to digital devices.
COperations in a digital device are performed simultaneously.
DThe variables in digital systems are fixed quantities, and the variables in analog systems are continuous quantities.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) The variables in digital systems are fixed quantities, and the variables in analog systems are continuous quantities. This statement is correct because digital systems represent information using discrete, fixed values (such as 0s and 1s), while analog systems use continuous, variable quantities (such as voltage or current). Digital devices process information in a discrete, step-by-step manner, while analog devices operate with continuous, uninterrupted signals. The other options are incorrect because A) there are fundamental differences between analog and digital systems, B) digital devices can be more accurate than analog devices in many applications, and C) operations in digital devices are typically performed sequentially, not simultaneously.
