Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Concept: Computer-storage units form a fixed chain, and each unit equals 1024 (210) times the unit immediately before it: Byte -> Kilobyte (KB) -> Megabyte (MB) -> Gigabyte (GB) -> Terabyte (TB) -> Petabyte (PB) -> Exabyte (EB) -> Zettabyte (ZB) -> Yottabyte (YB).

Applying to this question:

  1. The given quantity is 1024 TB.

  2. In the chain above, multiplying any unit by 1024 gives the very next unit in the chain.

  3. TB is immediately followed by PB in the chain, so multiplying TB by 1024 produces PB.

  4. Therefore, 1024 TB converts to 1 PB.

Cross-check: Expressing both sides in bytes confirms this: 1 TB = 240 bytes, so 1024 TB = 210 x 240 bytes = 250 bytes. Since 1 PB is defined as 250 bytes, the two values match exactly.

Result: 1024 TB is equivalent to 1 Petabyte (PB).
