Sine wave clock pulses are not appropriate for most clock inputs because:
A) the negative going portion of the waveform would reverse bias input circuitry and cause circuit failure.
B) the negative going waveform would introduce unwanted noise.
C) sine waves have no defined on/off values.
D) off would not be at ground potential. It would have a negative potential.
E) C or D

Sine waves lack defined on/off values, which are crucial for digital circuits to distinguish between high and low states. Additionally, the "off" state in a sine wave would not be at ground potential but could instead have a negative potential, complicating the interpretation of signals by digital devices.
