A
Base 6
B
Base 8
C
Base 10
D
Base 2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -binary number system, in mathematics, positional numeral system employing 2 as the base and so requiring only two different symbols for its digits, 0 and 1, instead of the usual 10 different symbols needed in the decimal system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since the binary system uses only two digits or bits and represents numbers using varying patterns of 1s and 0s, it is known as a base-2 system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Binary is also known as Base 2. This means it is composed of only 0’s and 1’s. For example 9 in binary/base 2 is 1001.

Detailed explanation-4: -Binary Number System: According to digital electronics and mathematics, a binary number is defined as a number that is expressed in the binary system or base 2 numeral system. It describes numeric values by two separate symbols; 1 (one) and 0 (zero). The base-2 system is the positional notation with 2 as a radix.

Detailed explanation-5: -2 in binary is 10. Unlike the decimal number system where we use the digits 0 to 9 to represent a number, in a binary system, we use only 2 digits that are 0 and 1 (bits). We have used 2 bits to represent 2 in binary. In this article, let us learn how to convert the decimal number 2 to binary.
