A
10
B
6
C
4
D
3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In computing, a nibble (occasionally nybble, nyble, or nybl to match the spelling of byte) is a four-bit aggregation, or half an octet. It is also known as half-byte or tetrade. In a networking or telecommunication context, the nibble is often called a semi-octet, quadbit, or quartet.

Detailed explanation-2: -In computing and digital technology, a nibble is four consecutive binary digits or half of an 8-bit byte. When referring to a byte, it is either the first four bits or the last four bits, which is why a nibble is sometimes referred to as a half-byte.

Detailed explanation-3: -A group of four bits is also called a nibble and has 24 = 16 possible values.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 Nibble = 4 Bits and 1 nibble = 0.5 Bytes also. A nibble can have 16 possible values due to the four bits that are the same as one hexadecimal. The term “nybble” is also referred to as a “hex digit”. Due to the four bits in each nybble, sometimes called “quadbits, ” in data transfers.
