Which of the following is the number of bits in a byte of data?

The correct answer is C. 8. A byte consists of exactly 8 bits (C). This is a foundational concept in computing: a bit is the smallest unit of data (0 or 1), and 8 bits grouped together form one byte. This standard is universal across modern computing. 2 bits (A) form a crumb (rarely used). 4 bits (B) form a

Explanation

A byte consists of exactly 8 bits (C). This is a foundational concept in computing: a bit is the smallest unit of data (0 or 1), and 8 bits grouped together form one byte. This standard is universal across modern computing. 2 bits (A) form a crumb (rarely used). 4 bits (B) form a nibble. 16 bits (D) form a word in many architectures, but not a byte.
