Solution

The correct option is A ASCII

The computer code for interchange of information between terminals is ASCII.

ASCII abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices.

A computer terminal is an electronic or electromechanical hardware device that is used for entering data into, and displaying or printing data from, a computer or a computing system. ... A terminal that depends on the host computer for its processing power is called a "dumb terminal" or thin client.

Three basic types of terminals are (1) Dumb terminal: has no built-in data processing capabilities and serves only to send and receive data, (2) Smart terminal: has limited data processing capabilities, and (3) Intelligent terminal: has substantial data processing capabilities due to inbuilt processor and memory.

space is a character. In ASCII encoding it has code number 32. The space between the two words has ASCII code 0x20 (0408, or 3210); it occupies one byte. The null at the end of the string, ASCII code 0x00 (0 in both octal and decimal) occupies the other byte.
