Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 528

A master boot record (MBR) is the first sector (`sector zero`) of a data storage device. What is the size of MBR?

Answer options

• A. Depends on the capacity of the storage device
• B. 1048 Bytes
• C. 4092 Bytes
• D. 512 Bytes

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the size of the master boot record (MBR) is fixed at 512 Bytes, regardless of the storage device's capacity. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they either suggest variability in size or provide incorrect byte values.
