To convert decimal 10 to binary, we can use the following method:

Step 1: Divide 10 by 2, we get a quotient of 5 and a remainder of 0. Write down the remainder (which is the least significant bit) as 0.

Step 2: Divide the quotient 5 by 2, we get a quotient of 2 and a remainder of 1. Write down the remainder as the next bit, so we get 01.

Step 3: Divide the quotient 2 by 2, we get a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 0. Write down the remainder, so we get 010.

Step 4: Divide the quotient 1 by 2, we get a quotient of 0 and a remainder of 1. Write down the remainder, so we get the final binary representation of 1010.

Therefore, the correct choice is C.
