Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The hexadecimal number system uses sixteen distinct symbols: digits 0–9 and letters A–F to represent values from 10 to 15. Therefore, its base (or radix) is 16. In comparison, decimal has base 10, octal has base 8, and binary has base 2. Thus, C is correct.
