I think that this setting represents the compileOptions and kotlinOptions.

For example, if you set ByteCode Level to 6, the compileOptions and kotlinOptions in the build.gradle of the module you created will look like this.

android {
    .
    .
    .
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.6'
    }
}

Also, if ByteCode Level is set to 8, the following will be shown.

android {
    .
    .
    .
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '1.8'
    }
}
