Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Answer: 97 is the ASCII decimal for the lowercase character 'a'. Lowercase letters range: 'a' = 97 to 'z' = 122. Uppercase letters range: 'A' = 65 to 'Z' = 90. Tip: A lowercase letter's ASCII code equals the uppercase letter's code plus 32 (for example, 'a' 97 = 'A' 65 + 32). 90 corresponds to uppercase 'Z', so 90 is not the code for lowercase 'a'.

122 corresponds to lowercase 'z', so 122 is not the code for lowercase 'a'.

65 corresponds to uppercase 'A', so 65 is not the code for lowercase 'a'.
