D1000 bits
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 1024 bytes (binary) or 1000 bytes (decimal/SI)
Originally 1 KB = 1024 bytes (binary).
SI now defines 1 KB = 1000 bytes; 1024 = 1 KiB (kibibyte).
Common usage still has both conventions.
**Memory sizes (RAM):** binary.
**Storage sizes (HDD):** often decimal.
