Correct answer: C

In computing, data storage is based on binary (base-2) units. The prefix 'kilo' in kilobyte (KB) refers to 2^10, not 10^3. Step 1: 2^10 = 1024. Step 2: Therefore, 1 kilobyte (1 KB) = 1024 bytes. Step 3: This is different from the decimal system, where 'kilo' means 1000. Hence, 1 KB = 1024 bytes.
