Correct answer: B
The correct option is B (4). UTF-8 is a variable-width character encoding scheme. It uses exactly 1 byte for standard ASCII characters to maintain backward compatibility, and scales dynamically up to 4 bytes (32 bits) to represent complex non-ASCII characters like emojis, mathematical symbols, and diverse global scripts.
