D Correct answer
Explanation

The default buffer size (BUFSIZE) in many mainframe and computing environments is 4096 bytes (4KB). This is a common standard for I/O buffers. Options A (1024) and C (256) are too small for typical defaults, while option B (4024) is not a standard power-of-2 buffer size.

AI explanation
