Answer 2

Explanation:

The maximum size of each segment is 64kB because offset is of 16 bit so each segment has 2^16 bytes = 64KB. minimum size of segment is 16B. In 8086 microprocessor the total memory addressing capability is 1MB. For representing 1MB there are minimum 4 hex digits are required i.e. 20 bits.
