Crystal oscillator: A crystal oscillator is an electronic circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal or piezoelectric material to create an electrical signal with a very precise frequency.

  • Crystal oscillators are highly accurate and stable electronic devices used primarily for generating precise timing signals in various applications.
  • They rely on the mechanical resonance of a piezoelectric crystal to produce a consistent frequency output.
  • Therefore, they are best suited for applications where precise timing is critical, such as in clocks, microprocessors, communication systems, and other electronic devices requiring accurate timekeeping.

Here, option 1 is correct.
