Answer 1

The lower order bit determines if the number is odd or even.

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

• In the computer system, the term byte is used for storing the data.
• it can be either a higher-order or lower-order bit.
• The value of a bit can be both an even digit or an odd number.
• Let's take an example if there are 4 bits in a length.
• Then the bit with the least value is the low order and the one at the most right position is the high order bit.
