is a base-ten number system.


must first be translated to machine code.


uses only 1s and 0s.

Answer 1

Correct choices:
- is the foundation of computer bits and bytes.
- uses only 1s and 0s.

Explanation: Binary is the base-2 number system (digits 0 and 1) and is the fundamental representation used for bits/bytes in computers. It is not base-ten, and it doesn't "need to be translated to machine code"—binary is the form machine code takes (high-level code is translated into binary machine code).
