C) L1 cache has 32KB and L2 cache has 1MB

Explanation:

L1 and L2 are both cache memory but arectwo different levels of memory (as denoted Level 1 and Level 2 memories) located in different places around the chip in a computer. The computer processor can find data quicker by accessing the cache memory to find it instead of the random access memory L1 cache is usually located on the microprocessor chip itself and usually comes with 32 thousand bytes or 32kb of memory size.

L2 cache memory on the other hand is located on a separate chip (possibly on an expansion card in the motherboard) The L2 cache memory size is usually 1,024 kilobytes (one megabyte).
