Answer:

its still eight bits

Step-by-step explanation:

One byte is equal to eight bits. Even though there is no specific reason for choosing eight bits for a byte, reasons such as the usage of eight bits to encode characters in a computer and the usage of eight or fewer bits to represent variables in many applications played a role in accepting 8 bits as a single unit.
