The expression for the Sum output of a Full Adder is similar to the expression of:
A
Sum of Half Adder
B
Difference of Half Subtractor
C
Difference of Full Subtractor
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: The sum and difference output of a full adder and a full subtractor are same. If A, B and C are the input of a full adder and a full subtractor then the output will be given by (A XOR B XOR C), respectively.

Detailed explanation-2: -We can also express the full adder circuit construction in Boolean expression. For the case of SUM, We first XOR the A and B input then we again XOR the output with Carry in. So, the Sum is (A XOR B) XOR C. We can also express it with (A ⊕ B)

Detailed explanation-3: -When designed from truth-tables and K-maps, a full subtractor is very similar to a full adder, but it contains two inverters that a full adder does not. When configured to subtract, an adder/subtractor circuit adds a single inverter (in the form of an XOR gate) to one input of a full adder module.

Detailed explanation-4: -By comparing the adder and subtractor circuits and truth tables, we can observe that the output D in the full subtractor is exactly same as the output S of the full adder. And the only difference is that input variable A is complemented in the full subtractor.
