Correct Answer:
C. 1024 MB
In computing, digital storage units are typically based on powers of 2. Therefore, 1 Gigabyte (GB) is equivalent to 1024 Megabytes (MB). This hierarchical system is standard for measuring data capacity, where each successive unit is 1024 times larger than the preceding one. For example, 1 Kilobyte (KB) equals 1024 Bytes, 1 Megabyte (MB) equals 1024 KB, and 1 Terabyte (TB) equals 1024 GB.
- A: 1024 KB is incorrect; 1 MB equals 1024 KB, so 1 GB is 1024 * 1024 KB.
- B: 1024 TB is incorrect; 1 TB is much larger than 1 GB, specifically 1 TB = 1024 GB.
- D: 1024 Bits is incorrect; 1 GB is vastly larger than 1024 bits (1 byte = 8 bits).
