The correct answer is C. Sector. A sector is the smallest physical storage unit on a hard drive, typically sized at 512 bytes or 4,096 bytes (4KB). Sectors are the basic units of data storage on a hard drive, and they are organized into tracks, which are circular paths on the disk. Here's a brief overview of the physical storage units on a hard drive, from smallest to largest: Sector: 512 bytes or 4KB Track: A circular path on the disk, containing multiple sectors Cluster: A group of sectors, often 4 or 8, treated as a single unit by the file system Platter: One of the circular disks inside the hard drive, containing multiple tracks and sectors So, the correct order from smallest to largest is: Sector < Track < Cluster < Platter

Sectors physical storage, Cluster are logical units. The question asks for physical storage C is correct
