A bit is the smallest unit of digital information in computing, and it can have two possible values: 0 or 1. This is because a bit is used to represent a binary digit, which can be either on or off, true or false, or high or low. So, the answer is 2.
To give an example, imagine a light switch that can either be turned on or off. We can use a bit to represent the state of the switch, where 0 represents the switch being off, and 1 represents the switch being on. In this case, a single bit is enough to represent the two possible states of the switch. Similarly, in computing, a single bit is enough to represent two possible states of any digital information.
