B Correct answer
Explanation

The 8085 microprocessor has 16 address lines (A0-A15), which allows it to address 2^16 = 65536 memory locations. Each address line can be 0 or 1, so 16 lines give 2^16 unique addresses. 8 address lines would give only 256 addresses, while 32 and 64 address lines are far beyond the 8085's capabilities.
