The correct answer is C. Lost. When an operating system marks a cluster as used but not allocated, it is considered a lost cluster. This typically happens when the file system loses track of which file the cluster belongs to, often due to improper shutdowns or file system corruption.

Selected Answer: C
A lost cluster is a File Allocation Table (FAT) error that occurs when the OS marks clusters as used but does not allocate any file to them. OSes mark these clusters as in use, although they have no files assigned or linked to them. Disk-checking programs can examine a complete disk volume for lost clusters.
