Solution

The correct option is D Floppy Disk

Floppy Disk Devices have a limitation that we can only read it but can not erase and modify it.

What became the most common format, the double-sided, high-density (HD) 1.44 MB disk drive, shipped in 1986. The first Macintosh computers use single-sided ​3 1⁄2-inch floppy disks, but with 400 KB formatted capacity.

In the late 80's, the 5.25-inch floppy disk was on its way out and in 1987 the 3.5-inch floppy disk had moved into the high density category with a capacity of 1.44 MB. You would need 711 1.44 MB floppy disks to equal 1 Gigabyte. "All 8" disks have 77 cylinders recorded at 48 TPI (tracks per inch), and rotate at 360 RPM." "5.25" Floppy Disks … Rotational speed is 300 RPM for the 300 Oe media and 360 RPM for the high density 600 Oe media."

A floppy disk is a storage medium that consists of a thin and flexible magnetic disk inside a plastic carrier. Widely used since the 1970s until the early 2000s, they have gradually been replaced by other storage devices with greater capacity.
