Correct answer: A
To determine the number of bits in the logical address, we calculate the bits required for the page number and the offset. There are 8 pages, so log2(8) = 3 bits for the page number. Each page has 1024 words, so log2(1024) = 10 bits for the offset. The total logical address size is 3 + 10 = 13 bits.
