Which abbreviation denotes Megabyte?

Which abbreviation denotes Megabyte?

• A. Megabyte
• B. Megabit
• C. Megahertz
• D. Mbps

Answer: (A)

Understanding how we label data sizes helps you read storage and speed correctly. The key is capitalization and what each letter stands for. A megabyte is abbreviated with MB, where the capital B indicates bytes. A megabit is abbreviated Mb, with a small b for bits. Megahertz is MHz, and the data-rate term megabits per second is Mbps. So the shorthand that denotes Megabyte is MB. The other terms refer to bits or to frequency or data rate rather than to the byte unit. If you see the full word Megabyte, that describes the unit, but the standard abbreviation you’ll see in specs is MB.
