64 E. 256

The correct answer is E. EBCDIC can code up to 256 different characters.

EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) is an eight-bit character encoding code that was developed by IBM in the 1960s. It is used primarily on IBM mainframe computers and some other systems. EBCDIC can code up to 256 different characters, including upper and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and control codes.

Option A is incorrect because EBCDIC is an eight-bit code, not a four-bit code.

Option B is incorrect because EBCDIC can code up to 256 different characters, not 16 different characters.

Option C is incorrect because EBCDIC can code up to 256 different characters, not 32 different characters.

Option D is incorrect because EBCDIC can code up to 256 different characters, not 64 different characters.
