How is an n-bit register defined?

A group of 'n' logic gates connected in series
A single flip-flop capable of storing 'n' bits of information
A group of 'n' flip-flops capable of storing 'n' bits of information (correct)
A group of 'n' transistors connected in parallel

What is the purpose of logic gates in a shift register?

Act as memory units for the data
Control the transfer of information into the register (correct)
