Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) American Standard Code for Information Interchange
Explanation:
• ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
• It is the most common character encoding standard for computers and digital devices.
• It uses a 7-bit binary number to represent 128 different characters, including letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control characters.
• It was developed in the 1960s and became the foundational standard for text representation in computing.
• The extended ASCII uses 8 bits, allowing for 256 characters.
Information Booster:
• Modern computers primarily use Unicode (UTF-8), which supports a vast range of characters and symbols from different languages, but it is backward compatible with ASCII.
• Each ASCII character is assigned a unique decimal number from 0 to 127.
