American Standard Code for Isolated Information
B
American Standard Code for Information Integrity
C
American Standard Code for Intelligent Information
D
American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the most common character encoding format for text data in computers and on the internet. In standard ASCII-encoded data, there are unique values for 128 alphabetic, numeric or special additional characters and control codes.

Detailed explanation-2: -ASCII encodes characters into seven bits of binary data. Since each bit can either be a 1 or a 0, that gives a total of 128 possible combinations. Each of these binary numbers can be converted to denary number from 0 through to 127. For example 1000001 in binary equals 65 in denary.

Detailed explanation-3: -ASCII is a character-encoding scheme that uses 7 bits to represent each character. The decimal (base 10) values 65 through 90 represent the capital letters A through Z, as shown in the table below.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explanation: ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code for representing English characters as numbers, assigned from 0 to 127.

Detailed explanation-5: -ASCII code allows computers to understand how to represent text. In ASCII, each character (letter, number, symbol or control character) is represented by a binary value. Extended ASCII is a version that supports representation of 256 different characters.
