32 bits
"Word size" refers to the number of bits processed by a computer's CPU in one go (these days, typically 32 bits or 64 bits). Data bus size, instruction size, address size are usually multiples of the word size.

Explanation:
The word length of the processor in a computer refers to the maximum number of bits it can take as input. It is the number of bits processed by a computer CPU in a single pass. The computer further takes this input for process and gives the output. We have word length as 8. 16. 32, 64 bits and so on in the computers. The word length is further used in computing data bus, address size, instruction size and they are mostly the multiples of a CPU’s word size.
