Which option lists four basic data types?

• A. Text, Numbers, Spaces, Symbols
• B. Boolean, Real/Float, String, Character
• C. String, Integer, Real/Float, Boolean
• D. Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte

Answer: (C)

Data types describe what kind of value a variable stores. The four basic built-in types usually taught are text (string), whole numbers (integer), numbers with decimals (real/float), and true/false values (boolean). The option that lists String, Integer, Real/Float, Boolean matches these standard categories exactly, providing a text type, a whole-number type, a decimal-number type, and a boolean type. Other choices mix in concepts that aren’t data types, such as storage units (byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte) or concepts like characters or spaces that aren’t part of the basic foundational set.
