  b.

Ramp-compare

  c.

integrating (dual slope)

  d.

Successive Approximation   

  e.

Flash

Expert Solution
Step 1

The fastest type of converter is one which takes very less time in conversion of the analog signal to digital bits. 

Sigma Delta, ramp compare type, integration type and successive approximation type converters are the converters which may involve different stages for conversion of analog to digital signals. Due to various stages involved in conversion these converters cannot be the fastest converters. Hence, all above mentioned choices are wrong.
