Step 1: Recall the size of a byte
A byte is defined as a group of 8 bits.Step 2: Eliminate other options
4 bits is a nibble, 16 and 32 bits are larger units (2 and 4 bytes respectively).Final Answer:
8 bits -> Option DQuick Check:
1 byte = 8 bits [OK]
Quick Trick: Remember: 1 byte always equals 8 bits [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Confusing nibble (4 bits) with byte
- Thinking byte size varies
- Mixing bits and bytes counts
