Solution

The correct option is A Sector

Methods used to organise and physically store disk data are cylinder and Sector.

In computer disk storage, a sector is a subdivision of a track on a magnetic disk or optical disc. Each sector stores a fixed amount of user-accessible data, traditionally 512 bytes for hard disk drives (HDDs) and 2048 bytes for CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs.

A disk is divided into tracks, cylinders, and sectors. A track is that portion of a disk which passes under a single stationary head during a disk rotation, a ring 1 bit wide. A cylinder is comprised of the set of tracks described by all the heads (on separate platters) at a single seek position.
