Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 8 bits

The correct answer is 8 bits.

  • A byte is a unit of digital information that most commonly consists of eight bits.
  • Historically, the byte was the number of bits used to encode a single character of text in a computer and for this reason, it is the smallest addressable unit of memory in many computer architectures.
  • To disambiguate arbitrarily sized bytes from the common 8-bit definition, network protocol documents such as The Internet Protocol (RFC 791)(1981) refer to an 8-bit byte as an octet.
  • Furthermore, 1024 bytes make one kilobyte

  • 1024 Bytes = 1 Kilobyte
  • 1024 Kilobytes = 1 Megabyte
  • 1024 Megabytes = 1 Gigabyte
  • 1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte
