About this MCQ
This Easy Computer Fundamentals MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “Which of the following best names the concept in which a unit of digital information consisting of 8 bits?”
The accepted answer is B. Byte. Byte is the person, body, or term that satisfies “Which of the following best names the concept in which a unit of digital information consisting of 8 bits” (option B). Option A (“Output device”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Byte. Option C (“Storage unit progression”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Byte. Remaining alternatives (Motherboard) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Byte is identified. Computer Fundamentals questions of this type reward precise definitions rather than approximate associations. Computer Fundamentals recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
