Question

Which of the following best describes how computing devices represent information?

A. A computer will either represent information as bits or bytes but not both
B. A computer represents data as a byte which is either a 0 or a 1
C. A computer represents data as bits which is either a 0 or a 1
D. A computer represents information as bits which contain 8 bytes.

Answer 1

The answer is "C"

Step-by-step explanation:

In the computer system, the data which separates a data object into relevant concepts is known as data representation. In the representation of data, it uses the binary digits, that are in the form of '0 and 1'. It is used by computers to store information and these numbers are also known as bits, and wrong choices can be defines as follows:

• In option A, It is wrong because when we see the file details it shows both.
• In option B, It's incorrect because the smallest unit of data representation is bits.
• In option D, It is incorrect because bits includes only "0 and 1".
