Definitions of unit of address resolution:

• – In a given architecture, successive address values designate successive units of memory; this unit is the unit of address resolution. In most computers, the unit is either a character (eg a byte) or a word. (A few computers have used bit resolution.) If the unit is a word, then addresses can be smaller. On the other hand, if the unit is a byte, then individual characters can be addressed (ie selected during the memory operation).
