(b) 7 bits

(c) 8 bits

​

Answer 1

Answer:

c) 8 bits

Explanation:

1 Byte = 8 bits

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to the given question is:

c) 8 bits

A series of ___8 bits_____ makes a byte.

Explanation:

Byte is the basic unit of computer storage and processing of information. A byte consists of 8 contiguous binary numbers (bits), each consisting of either a 0 or a 1. The string of bits that make up

bytes is treated by the computer as a single unit. A byte is the smallest working unit of storage in computer technology. A byte can correspond to a single character, such as the letter B, comma, or percent sign, or it can represent a number between 0 and 255.

Because there is too little information in

bytes, the capacity of processing and storage computer hardware is commonly reported in gigabytes (GB, billion bytes) and terabytes (TB, trillion bytes). Since bytes are rooted in a binary, the original kilobyte is 1024 bytes (1024 = 210), not 1000 bytes, so 1 megabyte (MB) is 1024 × 1024 bytes, and so on.
