Select the response that best describes the use of the Master Reset on typical 4-bit binary counters.
A:
When MR1 and MR2 are both HIGH, all Qs will be reset to zero.
B:
When MR1 and MR2 are both HIGH, all Qs will be reset to one.
C:
MR1 and MR2 are provided to synchronously reset all four flip-flops.

The process of designing a synchronous counter that will count in a nonbinary manner is primarily based on:
A:
external logic circuits that decode the various states of the counter to apply the correct logic levels to the J-K inputs
B:
modifying BCD counters to change states on every second input clock pulse
C:
modifying asynchronous counters to change states on every second input clock pulse
D:
elimination of the counter stages and the addition of combinational logic circuits to produce the desired counts
