    • 1. The carry propagation delay in full-adder circuits:

    • Options
    • A. is normally not a consideration because the delays are usually in the nanosecond range.
    • B. decreases in a direct ratio to the total number of FA stages.
    • C. is cumulative for each stage and limits the speed at which arithmetic operations are performed.
    • D. increases in a direct ratio to the total number of FA stages but is not a factor in limiting the speed of arithmetic operations.
