I don't know, you guys. I feel like we're overthinking this. If the question is asking about what happens when x is zero, and the diagram doesn't specify a behavior, then wouldn't it be safe to assume the system just stays in State 1? I mean, A) seems like the most reasonable answer to me.

I have to side with Candidates 1 and 2 on this one. The state machine diagram doesn't give us enough information to determine what would happen if x is zero, so D is the only logical choice. Anything else would be pure speculation.

Hmm, I'm not convinced by that logic, Nidia. The diagram clearly shows that the transition to State 2 or State 3 is dependent on the value of x. If x is zero, there's no defined behavior, so I still think D is the right answer here.

I'm not so sure. I think B) is also a valid answer. The diagram shows that the transition from State 1 to State 2 or State 3 is possible, so it could arbitrarily enter either one of those states, even if x is zero. The question doesn't say the system has to do something specific in that case.

I agree with German. The state machine diagram doesn't specify what happens when x is zero, so there's no way to know for sure how the system will behave in that case. I think D is the only answer that accurately reflects the ambiguity in the diagram.

This is a pretty straightforward question, but I can see how it might trip up some people. The diagram clearly shows that if x is equal to zero, the transition from State 1 to State 2 or State 3 is not defined. So the correct answer is D) Its behavior is not defined.
