Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
In the binary-based convention traditionally used for computer memory, each larger unit contains 1024 units of the immediately smaller unit.
The unit ladder is KB → MB → GB → TB, so one step upward multiplies by 1024.
Application
Locate GB on the unit ladder. Its immediately smaller unit is MB.
Apply the one-step conversion: 1 GB = 1024 MB.
Therefore, the required value is 1024 MB.
Contrast and cross-check
1024 KB forms 1 MB, which is one level below GB.
1024 GB forms 1 TB, which is one level above GB.
The set-level choices do not apply because exactly one listed numerical conversion matches the stated binary convention.
