A) 01000010 is the binary representation of the ASCII character 'B', so I think that's the right answer. Gotta love those low-level data representations!

Haha, I bet the correct answer is D) B. Why make it complicated when you can just store the character directly? This exam is trying to trick us!

C) 66 is the decimal representation of the ASCII character 'B', so that's a valid answer too.

B) /x42 seems like the correct answer. The hexadecimal representation of the ASCII character 'B' is 42, which is written as /x42 when accessed directly.
