D
Byte
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A byte is the smallest unit of memory used in today’s computing. Bytes consist of eight bits, and a byte is used to encode a single number, letter, or symbol. Bytes’ use as such is a de facto international convention documented as ISO/IEC 2382-1:1993 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

Detailed explanation-2: -A group of 4 bits is called nibble. A group of 8 bits is called byte. A byte is the smallest unit, which can represent a data item or a character.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bits/s vs Bytes/s One byte is equivalent to eight bits. A bit is considered to be the smallest unit of data measurement. A bit can be either 0 or 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
