b. It make available portability with the code and also with different hardware platforms on different compilers.
#include <stdint.h>
typedef uint8_t BYTE;
typedef uint16_t WORD;
typedef uint32_t DWORD;

c. DWORDs: It can also be known as Double WORDs and used as a data type, defined as unsigned 32 bit.

d. WORDs: It is used as a Single word and defined as unsigned 16 bit values. WORDs are machine independent which are used for the programming purpose.
