Why are Clifford gates alone not enough for universal quantum computing?

Why are Clifford gates alone not considered universal for quantum computation?

A

Clifford circuits act only on the computational basis states, so non-Clifford gates are needed to create any superposition at all

B

Clifford circuits can be efficiently simulated classically under the stabilizer formalism, so non-Clifford resources are needed for universality

C

Clifford circuits cannot create entanglement between qubits, so a two-qubit non-Clifford gate is required before any correlation can appear

D

Clifford circuits cannot be implemented fault-tolerantly, so non-Clifford gates are added to make the encoded operations transversal
