Under binary conventions, which statement is correct?

• A. 1 KiB equals 1000 bytes
• B. 1 GiB equals 1000 MiB
• C. 1 TiB equals 1000 GiB
• D. 1 KiB equals 1024 bytes

Answer: (D)

In binary conventions, a kibibyte (KiB) equals 1024 bytes, using a 2^10 relationship. So the statement that 1 KiB equals 1024 bytes matches this standard. The other options mix decimal and binary meanings: 1 KiB = 1000 bytes would use decimal notation, not binary; 1 GiB = 1000 MiB implies GiB is 1000 times MiB, but in binary terms GiB is 1024 MiB; and 1 TiB = 1000 GiB would be decimal TB, whereas binary TiB is 1024 GiB.
