Solution
The correct option is B Track
In magnetic disks, data
is organized on the platter in a concentric sets of rings called Track.
In the old days, magnetic
disks were built out of a stack of platters. Both the top and bottom of each
platter could be used for data.
Each platter therefore
had two read/write heads, one for the top and one for the bottom. The smallest
unit of data on a disk, often 512 bytes plus more data for header and trailer
and checksums and error correcting codes, was called a sector.
A number of sectors laid
out in a concentric circle on a platter surface is called a track. All the
tracks at a certain distance from the center of the disk is called a cylinder.
