Your computer uses 4 bits to represent decimal numbers (0, 1, 2, 3 and so on) in binary. What is the SMALLEST number for which an overflow error occur?

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe this is because you cannot represent the number sixteen with only four binary bits. The highest you can go is 15.
