Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 541

UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an OS and platform firmware. Where does this interface store information about files present on a disk?

Answer options

• A. BIOS-MBR
• B. GUID Partition Table (GPT)
• C. Master Boot Record (MBR)
• D. BIOS Parameter Block

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, the GUID Partition Table (GPT), which is used by UEFI to store information about partitions and files on a disk. Options A and C refer to older BIOS methods (BIOS-MBR and MBR) that do not align with UEFI's specifications, while D, the BIOS Parameter Block, is a data structure used in BIOS systems, not UEFI.
