it depends on how long the word is
16 bytes long
7
16 bits
2 bytes=16 bits make a word
Each letter usually has seven bits, so the word "sane" has 4x7, or 28 bits.
16
If you are using the ASCII system, the word "duck", as it has four letters, contains 4 bytes, or 32 bits.
A word typically refers to a 16-bit quantity, where 32-bits is called a longword.
A person will not be able to know which answer lists the correct number of bits without knowing what the answer choices are. In order to know which of the answers is correct the answer options should be given.
No, computers have been built with as few as 1 bit in a word to 72 bits in a word and architectures have been proposed with as many as 256 bits in a word.

In "computer speak" a word is a specific amount of storage. The exact size of a word varies from machine to machine, however. If you read that your system has an 8-bit word, then it means that any time you see "word" you can think of 8 bits (and if you see "double word" or "quad word" you can think 16 bits or 32 bits, respectively).
8bit 16 bits 32 bits and 64 bits and 128 bits imply a broadside [parallel] output of that many bits of digital information on a buss output. these bits represent a word output. therefore the longest the word the more information can be processed at a time imply more bits the faster the computer or data flow.
