What is the storage size in bytes required for the MEDIUMINT datatype?

This question is about data types in MySQL. Data types tell the database what kind of information you want to store. MEDIUMINT is a data type used for storing whole numbers (integers).

The question asks about the storage size of MEDIUMINT. This means how much space in the database does a single MEDIUMINT value take up?

Here's how to figure out the answer:

* MEDIUMINT can store numbers from -8,388,608 to 8,388,607.
* To store this range of numbers, MEDIUMINT requires 3 bytes of storage.

So the correct answer is Option C: 3.
