For each question, there are 4 possible answer choices. Since there are 10 questions, we can multiply the number of possibilities for each question together to get the total number of ways the quiz can be answered. This gives us 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 = 4^10 = 1,048,576. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
