Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Mapping of the numbered items to units:

  • 1 = Megabytes

  • 2 = Kilobytes

  • 3 = Petabytes

  • 4 = Zettabytes

Standard order from smallest to largest (common units): Kilobyte < Megabyte < Gigabyte < Terabyte < Petabyte < Exabyte < Zettabyte

Applying this to the four given items, the increasing order is Kilobytes, Megabytes, Petabytes, Zettabytes.

Therefore the correct numerical sequence that represents this order is 2 1 3 4.
