Group of bits is known as:

• A. Binary
• B. Byte
• C. Nibble
• D. Word

Answer: (A)

Bits are the basic units of information, and a single bit can be either 0 or 1. When you group multiple bits together, you’re still dealing with data represented in base-2—the binary system. That overarching idea is why grouping bits is described as binary data. While there are specific names for particular group sizes (a nibble is four bits, a byte is eight bits, a word is a larger group that depends on the system), the concept that ties all these together is that they are all binary representations of information. For example, eight bits can represent 256 different values, shown in binary as a sequence from 00000000 to 11111111. Hence, the group of bits is understood as binary data—the data stored and processed in the binary system.
