Megabytes measure?

Thousands of bytes Millions of bytes Billions of bytes Bytes per second

Correct Answer:

Millions of bytes

Explanation:

Megabytes measure data size or storage capacity, not speed. A megabyte represents about one million bytes. In decimal terms, 1 MB equals 1,000,000 bytes, which is why it’s described as “millions of bytes.” In some computing contexts, a binary interpretation is used where 1 MB equals 1,048,576 bytes (2^20), sometimes called a mebibyte. This shows why megabytes quantify how much data is stored rather than how fast data can move. Conversely, bytes per second would indicate a data transfer rate, not a amount of data stored.
