Correct Answer - Option 2 : file system

The correct answer is file system.

  • A file system can be thought of as an index or database containing the physical location of every piece of data on the hard drive or another storage device.
  • The data is usually organized in folders called directories, which can contain other folders and files.
  • Files on a storage device are kept in sectors.
  • Sectors marked as unused can store data, typically in groups of sectors called blocks.
  • It's the file system that identifies the size and position of the files as well as which sectors are ready to be used.
  • A file system doesn't just store the files but also information about them, like the sector block size, fragment information, file size, attributes, file name, file location, and directory hierarchy.
