The decoding gates for asynchronous counters may have "glitches" on their outputs because: A) the flip- flops change states one at a time and erroneous counts may occur prior to the time all FF outputs have stabilized. B) the flip- flops all change states at the same time but t_pdmay vary slightly for each FF thereby producing glitches. C) the flip- flops change states one at a time; therefore no change for producing a glitch will ever exist. D) the flip- flops all change states at the same time.

The decoding gates for asynchronous counters may experience "glitches" because the flip-flops change states sequentially, not simultaneously. This can lead to brief, incorrect output states until all flip-flops have stabilized, causing the observed glitches.
