C) associative law.
D) commutative law.

16.
The pairs of numbers define the input and output to and from each state. The machine starts in state s0. If the input value to s0 is a 0, then 1 is output and the machine transitions to state s1; if the input is a 1, then 0 is output and the machine transitions to state s3. If the machine is in state s1 and receives a 0 as input, it outputs a 1 and stays in state s1; if it receives a 1, it outputs a 1 and transitions to s2. The remainder of the machine diagram may be read in the same fashion.

A) 1111
B) 1000
C) 1010
D) 0000

17.
