If, in a computer, 16 bits are used to specify addresses in a RAM, the number of addresses will be

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option D
A 16-bit integer can store 216 (or 65,536) distinct values. In an unsigned representation, these values are the integers between 0 and 65,535; using two's complement, possible values range from −32,768 to 32,767. Hence, a processor with 16-bit memory addresses can directly access 64 KB of byte-addressable memory.
