Solution

The correct option is B Fixed point number

A number which is stored and processed but not in the standard exponential form is called Fixed point number.

In computing, a fixed-point number representation is a real data type for a number that has a fixed number of digits after. Fixed-point number representation can be compared to the more complicated (and more computationally demanding) floating-point number representation.

In computing, a fixed-point number representation is a real data type for a number that has a fixed number of digits after (and sometimes also before) the radix point (after the decimal point '.' in English decimal notation). A fixed value. In Algebra, a constant is a number on its own, or sometimes a letter such as a, b or c to stand for a fixed number. Example: in "x + 5 = 9", 5 and 9 are constants. See: Variable.
