C Correct answer
Explanation

1 KB (kilobyte) equals 1024 bytes in binary systems. This is because computers use binary (base-2), and 2^10 = 1024. While decimal prefixes (kilo = 1000) exist in some contexts, in traditional computing, KB = 1024 bytes. 1 KB is NOT equal to bits - it's a unit of digital storage information.
