CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 1

Which of the following statements BEST describes binary?

Answer options

• A. A notational system used to represent an ג€onג€ or ג€offג€ state
• B. A notational system used to represent media access control
• C. A notational system used to represent Internet protocol addressing
• D. A notational system used to represent a storage unit of measurement

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as binary is fundamentally a system that represents two states, typically denoted as 'on' (1) and 'off' (0). The other options describe different systems or concepts that do not accurately define binary, such as media access control (B), Internet protocol addressing (C), and storage unit measurement (D).
