C Correct answer
Explanation

Tri-state buffers, also known as 3-state buffers, are combinatorial elements that in addition to providing the two standard logic “0″ and logic “1″ states, can be made to provide a high impedance third state. This third state occurs when the gates output is effectively switched “OFF” or disconnected. This third state is often referred to as an “High-impedance”, “hi-Z“, or just “Z” state.
