What are some of the differences between the Baudot digital code and ASCII?

Answer choices for E8D10
Why this wins

The key fact is Baudot uses 5 data bits per character, ASCII uses 7 or 8; Baudot uses 2 characters as letters/figures shift codes, ASCII has no letters/figures shift code. Match that fact to the exact condition in the question; the other choices describe a different rule, band, component, or operating situation.
