Why D flip flop is widely used in ASIC?

There must be some reason....Can anybody post it here?

As opposed, may I ask, to what?  JK flops?  C gates?  Maxwell's
daemons?  Specificity of question leads to specificity of answer.

Homework question?

Probably because they were widely used in discrete
logic design for the 20 or 30 years before ASIC's

Probably because it uses the least amount of chip area of any of the 
candidates for storing a bit.

And _that's_ probably because it's close to a SRAM cell, so there's been 
intense work over many years in making it as small and cheap as possible.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.

Lumped element logic design is so last year...

Because of META stability, looks like homework so please use this Hint 
to investigate

Well, for some things my primary reason is hunger.  For some others
it may be tiredness.  Then there is boredom.  HTH.
