Which command can be used to create the disk's tracks and sectors?

A. Fdisk

B. Format

C. Chkdsk

D. Attrib

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Format is the command used in DOS to create the disk's tracks and sectors.

When you format a disk using the format command, it prepares the disk by creating the necessary file system structures (tracks and sectors) for storing data.
It also marks bad sectors on the disk, if any, and initializes the disk for use.
The syntax for formatting a disk is typically format drive_letter: where drive_letter: is the letter of the drive you want to format (e.g., format C: for formatting the C drive).

Fdisk is used for partitioning a hard disk into one or more logical drives, not for creating the physical tracks and sectors.

Chkdsk is used to check the integrity of the file system and fix errors on a disk, not for creating disk tracks and sectors.

Attrib is used to change file attributes (like hidden or read-only), not for disk formatting.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: Format.
