Correct option is D
Correct Answer: (D). 1024 bytes
In digital storage, 1 kilobyte (KB) is traditionally defined as 1024 bytes. This is based on the binary system, where each unit is a power of 2.
Although in some contexts, particularly in marketing, 1 kilobyte may be approximated as 1000 bytes (decimal system), the correct standard unit in most computing contexts is 1024 bytes.

Here’s a list of common data storage units, from bytes to terabytes:
- 1 Byte (B) = 8 bits
- 1 Kilobyte (KB) = 1024 Bytes
- 1 Megabyte (MB) = 1024 Kilobytes (KB)
- 1 Gigabyte (GB) = 1024 Megabytes (MB)
- 1 Terabyte (TB) = 1024 Gigabytes (GB)
- 1 Petabyte (PB) = 1024 Terabytes (TB)
- 1 Exabyte (EB) = 1024 Petabytes (PB)
- 1 Zettabyte (ZB) = 1024 Exabytes (EB)
- 1 Yottabyte (YB) = 1024 Zettabytes (ZB)
