Which is NOT a digital storage element?

Explanation:
Digital storage elements keep a bit of information over time, preserving state. RAM stores data as volatile memory, a flip-flop holds a single bit using feedback, and a register collects multiple flip-flops to store a word. An AND gate, on the other hand, is a piece of combinational logic that outputs a result based solely on current inputs; it doesn’t retain or remember a value once inputs change. That memory capability is what defines a storage element, and the AND gate lacks it. So it’s the one that isn’t a storage element.
