Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1024 KB

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: D) 1024 KB šŸ“š Explanation: Computer systems operate on a binary (base-2) system, which means data units are typically multiples of $2^{10}$. Therefore, 1024 bytes make one Kilobyte, and 1024 Kilobytes make one Megabyte. While some commercial storage manufacturers use the decimal (base-10) system where 1 MB = 1000 KB, the binary calculation remains the standard in computing software.
