Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Option A Solution: The word length of a computer is measured in bits. Most of you would have heard of 32 bit operating systems or 64 bit operating systems of 32 bit/ 64 bit processors. The word length of a computer is the size of bits processed by its processor at a time. It can also be termed as word size of computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -In computer the length of word is measured in bits.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Intel’s PC processor architecture, a word is 16 bits, or two contiguous eight-bit bytes. Some computer processor architectures support a half word, which is half the bit length of a word, and a double word (doubleword), which is two contiguous words.

Detailed explanation-4: -Computer storage and memory is often measured in megabytes (MB) and gigabytes (GB). A medium-sized novel contains about 1 MB of information. 1 MB is 1, 024 kilobytes, or 1, 048, 576 (1024x1024) bytes, not one million bytes. Similarly, one 1 GB is 1, 024 MB, or 1, 073, 741, 824 (1024x1024x1024) bytes.
