Correct answer: A. BCD (Binary Coded Decimal)
- A. BCD (Binary Coded Decimal)
- B. Base Coded Decimal
- C. Non-volatile Memory
- D. Bidirectional Coded Decimal
Explanation
BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is a method for representing decimal digits (0-9) using binary code. Each decimal digit is encoded using a 4-bit binary number. This allows for a more compact representation of decimal data compared to using a full 8-bit byte for each digit.
