Question

Which of the following is the smallest unit of data in a computer?

• A. Byte
• B. Bit
• C. Nibble
• D. KB

Hint:

Bit is the smallest data element, but Byte is the smallest memory-addressable unit in many systems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Standard understanding:
- 1 Bit = smallest possible data unit
- 1 Byte = 8 Bits
However, if the question intends the smallest "storage unit" used practically, then: \[ \boxed{\text{Byte is often considered the smallest addressable memory unit in most architectures.}} \]
