The hexadecimal number 13, expressed as a binary here is? 
00010011. 
00101100. 
0010110. 
00100100.

Explanation

first, convert 13 in hex to decimal

\(13_{16}\) =  \( 1 \times 16^1 + 3 \times 16^0\) = \(19_{10}\)

next, change 19 in decimal to binary

2 19
2 9 R 1
2 4 R 1
2 2 R 0
2 1 R 0
2 0 R 1

 19 in decimal = 10011 in base 2

\(\therefore\) 13 in hex = 10011 in base 2
