Answer:

b. an unsigned integer? (convert it to decimal)

Step-by-step explanation:

Computer systems represent data and instructions in bits to be stored and processed by the processor. The buses in the computer system transfer data and instructions to various locations. Some buses can be 32 or 64 bits wide, transporting data like the 32-bit number above which covert to an unsigned integer of 2,903,506,944.
