Q.How many bits make one byte?
(A) 2 bits
(B) 4 bits
(C) 8 bits
(D) 1,024 bits

This is a basic unit of memory measurement — a byte is the amount of memory needed to store one character.

Section c gives the units of memory measurement. The smallest unit is the bit, a single binary digit (a 0 or a 1). A group of 8 bits makes 1 byte, and one byte can store one character (such as a letter or a digit). …

Do not confuse the '8 bits = 1 byte' rule with the '1,024' step used for larger units. The number 8 links bits to bytes; the number 1,024 …
