Correct answer: A
To convert a number from Octal (Base-8) to Binary (Base-2), you simply need to replace each individual octal digit with its equivalent 3-bit binary group.
Step-by-step Conversion:
The digit 5 in binary is 101
The digit 6 in binary is 111
The digit 2 in binary is 010
Now, group the 3-bit binary groups together in the exact same order:
(5)8 ->101
(6)8 -> 111
(2)8 -> 010
Combining them gives: (101110010)2.
