Problem

Each column is one rising clock edge. The address handshake occurs at C1; the write-data handshake waits until C4 because WREADY is low earlier. Rule to apply: BVALID may be asserted only after both the write-address handshake and the write-data handshake have occurred. What is wrong at C3?

Waveform for AXI Write Response Is Issued Too Early. Signals: AWVALID, AWREADY, WVALID, WREADY, BVALID. Numbered markers identify sampled columns.
Read the sampled columns from left to right, then test each choice against the stated timing rule.
