I can understand why this confusion. Lot of resources use cache, line, block terminology. After going through most of them, this is true to my knowledge.

Cache size = Cache capacity. In given info, L1_size(Bytes): 4096 Bytes

Block size= Cache block size = cache line size = line size. In given info, 16 Bytes
