What type of data is stored in a byte?

Text
Audio

Binary

The correct answer is: Binary

A byte is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. It is primarily used to store numeric data, such as integers, in binary form. This means that the data is represented by a sequence of 0s and 1s, which are the only two digits recognized by computers. Text, audio, and video data would not be stored in a byte because they require more complex data structures and use a larger number of bits to represent their data. Therefore, D Binary is the only option that accurately describes the type of data that is stored in a byte.
