Solution

The correct option is C CR-RW

A DVD-RAM is similar to a CR-RW except it has storage capacities up to 5.2 GB.

DVD-RAM is a DVD (optical disc) technology for high-capacity data storage for computers. Like ordinary random access memory (RAM), it can be repeatedly read, written to, and erased. ... However, with a storage capacity of up to 9.4 gigabytes (GB) per double-sided disc, DVD-RAM has many times the capacity of CD-RW.

A digital versatile disk random access memory (DVD-RAM) drive is a rewritable and erasable optical disc drive specified by the DVD Forum in 1996. It is a media storage device used in computers, camcorders and personal video recorders.

If you use a DVD-R or CD-R blank, then no, once it's burned, you can't erase or add more files. If you use a DVD-RW or CD-RW blank, then you can erase the disk and re-burn it with a more complete set of files. The best way to do what you want is to use a USB drive or external hard disk rather than a CD or DVD.
