Question
A byte is composed of how many bits?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
While the lecture defines a bit as the basic unit, it implies a byte is a collection of bits, and it is standard knowledge (and inferable from storage examples) that a byte is typically 8 bits. A kilobyte is approximately 1024 bytes.
Hint
Consider the standard number of binary digits used to make a single character of text.
