Which of the following is a number system that uses the values 0 and 1 and is the primary language that computers use to communicate?
A
decimal
B
assembly
C
binary
D
pseudocode
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Binary describes a numbering scheme in which there are only two possible values for each digit–0 or 1–and is the basis for all binary code used in computing systems. These systems use this code to understand operational instructions and user input and to present a relevant output to the user.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solution: The 0 and 1 in the binary numbering system are called binary digits or Bits. A bit is the smallest unit of data in a computer. A bit has a single binary value, either 0 or 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -That language of 1’s and 0’s is called binary. Computers speak in binary because of how they are built. A computer is nothing more than a vast collection of switches.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microprocessor communicates and operates in binary numbers 0 and 1. The set of instructions in the form of binary patterns is called a machine language and it is difficult for us to understand. Therefore, the binary patterns are given abbreviated names, called mnemonics, which forms the assembly language.

Detailed explanation-5: -The binary number system with only two independent digits, 0 and 1, is a base-2 number system. All larger binary numbers are represented in terms of ‘0’ and ‘1’.
