Explanation
✅ Correct Answer: Bit (Binary Digit)
Explanation:
- A bit is the most fundamental unit of data in computing.
- It represents a binary value:
0 or 1.
- All other units (Byte, Kilobyte, etc.) are multiples of bits.
Common Units of Data:
- 1 Bit = Smallest unit
- 1 Byte = 8 Bits
- 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes
- 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 KB
Note: Every piece of data in a computer—from text and images to video and sound—ultimately breaks down into bits.
