Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The binary digits 0 and 1 are each called a bit.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -binary code, code used in digital computers, based on a binary number system in which there are only two possible states, off and on, usually symbolized by 0 and 1.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each 1 or 0 in a binary number is called a bit. From there, a group of 4 bits is called a nibble, and 8-bits makes a byte. Bytes are a pretty common buzzword when working in binary.

Detailed explanation-4: -A binary digit (bit) is the minimum unit of binary information stored in a computer system. A bit can have only two states, on or off, which are commonly represented as ones and zeros. The combination of ones and zeros determines which information is entered into and processed by the computer.

Detailed explanation-5: -The 0s and 1s in binary represent OFF or ON, respectively. In a transistor, a “0” represents no flow of electricity, and a “1” represents electricity is allowed to flow. This way, numbers are physically represented inside the computing device, permitting calculations.
