The basic unit of memory used by a computer to store binary data is called a:
Bit
Computers store and process data in binary form, using only two possible values: 0 and 1.
The smallest and most basic unit of data a computer can store or process is a single binary digit, called a bit.
A byte (8 bits), a nibble (4 bits), and a word (multiple bytes grouped together) are all larger units built up from combinations of bits, not the most basic unit itself.
Hence, the basic unit of memory used to store binary data is the bit.

Which of the following needs to be refreshed to retain data even when power is on (electric current flows)?
Which of the following has the highest storage?
