Correct Answer - Option 1 : 8

The correct answer is 8.

  • A byte consists of 8 binary digits (bits), each of which consists of a 0 or 1. A single byte can be used to represent 28 or 256 different values.
  • The byte was basically created to store a single character, since 256 values is sufficient to represent all lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols in western languages.
  • Nibble: Collection of 4 bits.
  • Word: Collection of 2 Bytes.

It has become a fundamental unit of measurement for data storage.
