Please help me with the question in the picture about pull-up and pull-down networks.

No, because an input "0" turns on a PMOS and off, a
NMOS. A "1", vice versa. If the two gates are co-driven
(like is shown) you get the 1/0 choice; if you drive them
complementary you get the X/Z duo. Which probably is
not the plan.

Thanks. I meant they are co-driven. This means that we don't have crowbarred (X) and high impedance (Z) in CMOS logic gates with complementary pull-up and pull-down networks. That is a bit surprised to me.
