8 Binary Digits

Detailed explanation-1: -A bit is a binary digit and it is the smallest unit of data on a computer. A bit can hold only one of two values: 0 or 1. Bits are usually assembled into a group of eight to form a byte. 1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bit is an eighth of a byte* The bit is the smallest fundamental size of data storage. It is a binary digit meaning that it can take the value of either 1 or 0. All computer data can be broken down to a string of these 1 and 0 (like in the Matrix, only it doesn’t fall down the screen like rain).
Detailed explanation-3: -Option A Solution: The smallest unit of data in a computer is called Bit (Binary Digit). A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1.
Detailed explanation-4: -A bit (binary digit) is the smallest unit of data that a computer can process and store. A bit is always in one of two physical states, similar to an on/off light switch. The state is represented by a single binary value, usually a 0 or 1.
Detailed explanation-5: -A group of 8 bits is called byte. A byte is the smallest unit, which can represent a data item or a character.
