Solution

The correct option is A Megabytes

The memory sizes in mainframe computers and advanced technology micro computers are expressed as Megabytes.

An average printed page of text, such as in this book, would take up about 4100–4200 bytes, or 4.1–4.2 kilobytes of space. Megabyte: A megabyte (M, MB) is about 1 million bytes (1,048,576 bytes). Many measures of microcomputer capacity—such as for main memory and diskettes—are expressed in megabytes.

Computers contain a series of miniaturized electronic circuits, which operate by storing and transmitting electrical signals. They are capable of accepting, storing, retrieving, and manipulating information. This ability to manipulate information in many different ways and store and retrieve it quickly makes computers valuable.
