What kind of triggering configuration of external interrupt intimate(s) the signal to stay low until the generation of subsequent interrupt?
(i) Edge-triggering
(ii) Level triggering
(iii) Both (i) and (ii)
(iv) None of the above

Answer: (ii) Level triggering

Explanation: External interrupts INT0/INT1 can be edge-triggered (IT0/IT1=1, falling edge) or level-triggered (IT0/IT1=0, low level). Level-triggered requires the signal to stay low until the interrupt is serviced and the external source releases it; otherwise repeated interrupts or missed flag clearing occur. Edge-triggered needs only a falling edge.
