The correct answer is Bit
So why is this answer correct? : A “bit” is the smallest increment of data that can be recorded on a computer. It consists of one of two values — “0” or “1” — which correspond with “off” or “on.” These bits are used to make codes for computers and other devices. To make a code, bits are assembled into groups of eight called “bytes,” which are then built into codes. A typical character such as “M” contains one byte.
