Refer to Figure 12. The circuit is used to derive a 60 Hz reference for a digital clock. After running for 24 hours the clock appears to be running 2 minutes and 18 seconds slow. What appears to be wrong with the circuit?
A.
The error is very small and is to be expected of a circuit of this type; the clock should be regularly reset.
B.
The modulus of the counter has decreased, causing the counter to produce a lower output reference signal for the clock.
C.
The modulus of the counter has increased, causing a drop in the output frequency of the counter.
D.
The XTAL OSC is probably cooling off too much at night and consequently slowing down;the XTAL OSC should be temperature compensated.
