A 60 Hz line voltage is supplying a MOD 60 counter through a Schmitt trigger. The clock frequency:
A) would still be dependent on line frequency.
B) is generated by an oscillator powered from the line frequency.
C) would be conditioned and independent from line frequency.
D) Both B and C

The clock frequency for a MOD 60 counter supplied through a Schmitt trigger from a 60 Hz line voltage would still be dependent on the line frequency. The Schmitt trigger conditions the signal for the counter but does not change its fundamental frequency.
