Answer:

16.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Nibble has four bits.These are binary bits that consists of 0 and 1 only.So the different codes it can represent are started from 0000 and to 1111.Each code corresponds to a single character only.The number of characters it can represent are 2*2*2*2=16. So the number of different characters represented are 16.
