What is the size value of a nibble?
The correct answer is C. 0.5 byte. A nibble is exactly 4 bits, which is half of a byte (1 byte = 8 bits). Therefore, a nibble equals 0.5 bytes. A nibble can represent a single hexadecimal digit (0-F), making it useful in discussing hex representations of data. It is not 0.5 kilobytes (which would be 512 bytes)…

Explanation
A nibble is exactly 4 bits, which is half of a byte (1 byte = 8 bits). Therefore, a nibble equals 0.5 bytes. A nibble can represent a single hexadecimal digit (0-F), making it useful in discussing hex representations of data. It is not 0.5 kilobytes (which would be 512 bytes), not 0.5 bits, and not 2 bits.
