Solution

The correct option is B Optical

Optical technology is used in a CDROM Drive.

An Optical Drive refers to a computer system that allows users to use DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray optical drives. DVDs have a storage capacity of 4.7GB and can be used to store data for various uses. For you to write content/data to a disc, you will need a blank recordable DVD disc.

Optical drives, that can read and write CDs, DVDs, and sometimes Blu-ray discs, have been an important part of the PC universe for a long time. But there's less and less need for them. ... Most users download and stream music and movies these days rather than buy them on a shiny five-inch disc.

CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc Read-Only Memory, a mass storage medium utilizing an optical laser to read microscopic pits on the aluminized layer of a polycarbonate disc. The same format is used for audio Compact Discs.
