What can you say about the statement, “A byte means either 0 or 1”? a. True, because byte is one binary digit.
b. True, because byte is composed of only 1 digit.
c. False, because it is not byte but bit.
d. False, because it should be either 1 and 2 not 0 and 1.

The correct answer is: c. False, because it is not byte but bit.
Explanation: A byte is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Each bit can be either 0 or 1, but a byte itself represents 256 possible values (from 00000000 to 11111111 in binary). So the statement incorrectly defines a byte as having only the values of 0 or 1, which actually refers to a single bit.
