Detailed explanation-1: -Storage capacity refers to the amount of data a storage device such as a disk or tape can hold. Storage capacity is measured in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB).
Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Yottabyte. In computer systems, a unit of data that is eight binary digits long is known as a byte. A Terabyte (TB) is a measure of computer storage capacity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The memory capacity of a device depends on many factors such as the number of available address registers in the CPU. In the case of 32-bit CPUs, they can only address a memory capacity of up to 4 GB. As for a 64-bit computer, the memory capacity is unlimited. Operating systems also influence memory capacity.
