Selected Answer: D
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are the best choice for laptops that are likely to drop while working, as they have no moving parts and are more resistant to shock and vibration than hard-disk drives (HDDs). SSDs also offer faster performance, lower power consumption, and less noise and heat than HDDs. SSDs use flash memory chips to store data, unlike HDDs that use spinning platters and read/write heads. SSDs can be connected to laptops using various interfaces, such as SATA, PCIe, or NVMe.

The other options are not suitable for this scenario. S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is a feature that monitors the health and performance of HDDs and SSDs, but it does not prevent damage from dropping. SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is an interface that connects various devices, such as HDDs, SSDs, scanners, and printers, to a computer, but it is not commonly used in laptops. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a system that combines multiple HDDs or SSDs into a single logical unit, providing redundancy, performance, or both, but it is not feasible or practical to implement RAID in a laptop.

To mitigate potential damage from frequent drops, the technician should install: D. Solid-state drive (SSD). Solid-state drives (SSDs) are more durable than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) because they have no moving parts. This means they are less susceptible to damage from shocks and drops, making them ideal for environments where laptops are moved around frequently and may be subject to rough handling, such as in a construction company. Therefore, the correct answer is: D. Solid-state drive (SSD).
