What is the maximum number of distinct states that the given FSM can potentially be in over time? 1 2 4 8 None of the above

If there are \"n\" flip flops, there could be 2^n different states.

Then, with 1 Flip flop, there could be up to 2 different states. With 2 Flip flops, 4 states, with 3 flip flops, 8 states...

Since there are 2 Flip flops and 2^2=4 (different states).

The answer is c) 4 different states.
