The correct statement that describes the difference between binary and decimal numbers is:

Binary numbers use only the digits 0 and 1; decimal numbers use 0 through 9.

This captures the essence of the two numeral systems: binary is base-2 (using only 0 and 1), while decimal is base-10 (using digits 0 through 9).
