Which of the the following is not a CPU operating mode 16-bit 32-bit 48-bit 64-bit?

48bit does not belong in the list. In relation to desktop computers, it goes: 8bit, 16bit, 32bit, 64bit, 128bit... It refers to the internal design of the microprocessor. 8bit was the original register width in the first generation of computers etched into a single chip. The register size doubles from previous generations to their successors. It's not that a 48bit computer cannot be designed and manufactured, it's more of a decision to expand the capacity of the machine by copying the current design next to the existing hardware and weaving the original and copy together.
