Let $x_C(t)$ be any continuous-time periodic signal with period $T$. It is sampled uniformly with a sampling period $T_s$ where $T_s \neq T$, resulting in the discrete sequence $x[n]=x_c\left(n T_s\right)$, where $n$ is an integer. Which one of the following statements is correct about $x[n]$ ?

A

$x[n]$ will always be periodic with period $\frac{T}{T_s}$ for all values of $\frac{T}{T_s}$

B

$x[n]$ will always be periodic with period 1 for all values of $\frac{T}{T_s}$

C

$x[n]$ will always be periodic

D

$x[n]$ will be periodic if and only if $\frac{T}{T_s}$ is a rational number
