In little-endian format
A
The byte with the lowest address in a word is the least-significant byte of the word.
B
The byte with the lowest address in a word is the most significant byte of the word.
C
The byte with the highest address in a word is the least significant.
D
The byte at address 0 of the memory system connects to data lines 31-24.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the Little-Endian storage order, the “little", least significant, byte 0x11 is stored “first", at the lowest memory location 101. The 0x11 displays to the left of the other bytes, which follow in ascending left-to-right memory address order: 102, 103, 104.

Detailed explanation-2: -In particular, the leftmost (first) byte is the most significant (containing the most significant eight bits of the corresponding bit string), and the rightmost (last) byte is the least significant (containing the least significant eight bits of the corresponding bit string).

Detailed explanation-3: -Little-endian is the default memory format for ARM processors. In little-endian format, the byte with the lowest address in a word is the least-significant byte of the word. The byte with the highest address in a word is the most significant. The byte at address 0 of the memory system connects to data lines 7-0.
