D
8 bit
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Timer0 module can be used as an 8-bit timer. In timer mode, it is incremented on every instruction clock pulse unless a prescaler is used to reduce the speed. The TMR0 register can be written via software to preload it with a value.

Detailed explanation-2: -Both Timer 0 and Timer 1 are 16-bit wide. Since the 8051 follows an 8-bit architecture, each 16 bit is accessed as two separate registers of low-byte and high-byte.

Detailed explanation-3: -Timer 0 Registers Timer 0 has a register called TMR0 Register, which is 8 bits of size.

Detailed explanation-4: -Timer 0 is a 8-bit counter. This means it can count from 0 to 255 (i.e. 2^8).
