Group of 4 bits called as ____
A
Byte
B
Bit
C
Nibble
D
Word
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A group of four bits is also called a nibble and has 24 = 16 possible values.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nibble unit was developed in collaboration with the BCD code (Binary Coded Decimal), in which four bits each represent a digit between 0 and 9. These four bits correspond to one nibble.

Detailed explanation-4: -A nibble has 16 potential values thanks to its four bits, which is the same as one hexadecimal digit. As a result, a nybble is also known as a “hex digit”. Because of the four bits that make up each nybble, nybbles are also referred to as “quadbits” in data transfers.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: False, a nibble is a collection of 4 bits.
