C Correct answer
Explanation

In IBM mainframe architecture, a base register is 32 bits, allowing it to address 2^32 = 4,294,967,296 bytes. However, the question likely refers to the traditional addressing segment size of 4KB (4,096 bytes) in System/360 architecture. Options A (1KB) and B (2KB) are too small; D (8KB) doesn't match the standard.
