A byte consists of

  • A.One bit
  • B.Four bits
  • C.Eight bits
  • D.Sixteen bits

Answer: C

Correct answer: Eight bits

A byte is eight bits, which gives \(2^8 = 256\) distinct values - enough for one character in ASCII or EBCDIC, which is where the size came from. Four bits are a nibble, and sixteen bits a word on many machines.
