Software Development Fundamentals — Question 24

This question requires that you evaluate the underlined text to determine if it is correct.
To minimize the amount of storage used on the hard drive by an application that generates many small files, you should make the partition as small as possible.
Select the correct answer if the underlined text does not make the statement correct. Select "No change is needed'' if the underlined text makes the statement correct.

Answer options

• A. No change is needed
• B. file allocation table
• C. block size
• D. folder and file names

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as block size directly affects how efficiently small files are stored on a disk; a smaller block size can reduce wasted space. The other options do not address the issue of storage efficiency related to small files, making them incorrect in this context.
