Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
To arrange the memory units in descending order, recall the standard binary prefixes used for digital storage:
The units in ascending order are: Megabyte (MB), Gigabyte (GB), Terabyte (TB), Petabyte (PB), Exabyte (EB), Zettabyte (ZB), Yottabyte (YB).
Therefore, in descending order, the sequence is: Yottabyte, Zettabyte, Exabyte, Petabyte, Gigabyte, Megabyte.
Each unit is 1024 times larger than the previous one, so the order is based on increasing magnitude.
