D) a flip-flop.

Question

When the 555 timer is not configured to have stable states, it oscillates between high and low states, making it an astable multivibrator. A monostable multivibrator has one stable state and it has a time-delayed output, while a bi-stable multivibrator has two stable states and does not oscillate. A flip-flop is a digital circuit that has two stable states and is used for memory storage.
