To determine the size of the data item SPPPP9999, we need to understand how the data item is structured.

The data item SPPPP9999 consists of a combination of letters and numbers. Let's break it down:

• The first character, "S", is a letter.
• The next four characters, "PPPP", are letters.
• The final four characters, "9999", are numbers.

In most programming languages, each character is usually stored using 1 byte of memory. Therefore, the size of the data item SPPPP9999 can be calculated as follows:

1 byte (for the first character "S") + 4 bytes (for the next four characters "PPPP") + 4 bytes (for the final four characters "9999")

= 1 + 4 + 4

= 9

So, the correct answer is A) 9.
