Answer
- D An assignment of characters to numbers so that computers can store and transmit text
Explanation
A character encoding assigns a number or byte sequence to each character. Examples are UTF-8, ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) or Windows-1252. This has nothing to do with encryption: anyone who knows the encoding can read the text.
