Which is bigger?
A
MB (Megabyte)
B
TB (Terabyte)
C
GB (Gigabyte)
D
KB (Kilobyte)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Following this system, tera-is the fourth power of 1000. The prefix after tera-should be 10005, or peta-. Therefore, after terabyte comes petabyte. Next is exabyte, then zettabyte and yottabyte.

Detailed explanation-2: -For context, there are 1, 000 terabytes in a petabyte, 1, 000 petabytes in an exabyte, 1, 000 exabytes in a zettabyte and 1, 000 zettabytes in a yottabyte. And one yottabyte can hold more than 45 trillion 25-gigabyte Blu-ray discs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The largest out of the three is the terabyte. A megabyte has 1024 x 1024 bytes. A gigabyte has 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes. A terabyte has 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 bytes.

Detailed explanation-4: -One tebibyte is equal to 240 or 1, 099, 511, 627, 776 bytes. One terabyte is equal to 1012 or 1, 000, 000, 000, 000 bytes. A tebibyte equals nearly 1.1 TB. That’s about a 10% difference between the size of a tebibyte and a terabyte, which is significant when talking about storage capacity.
