Which one is true for unconditional disk formatting?

A. Destroys every byte of data on a disk by overwriting it with blank spaces

B. Do not check/scan surface after format

C. Transfer system files after format

D. All of above

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The correct answer is Option D: All of above. Each of the provided statements is true for unconditional disk formatting.

Unconditional disk formatting, also known as a low-level format or full format, completely erases data on a disk by writing over every sector with zeroes or blank spaces. This process ensures that all data is removed from the disk, making it unrecoverable.

Details for each option:
Option A: Destroys every byte of data on a disk by overwriting it with blank spaces is true because unconditional disk formatting writes zeroes or blank data to every sector of the disk, effectively erasing all existing data.
Option B: Do not check/scan surface after format is true as well because an unconditional format does not perform a surface scan to check for bad sectors; it only writes over the data.
Option C: Transfer system files after format is true in the sense that after a full format, the operating system can be reinstalled or system files can be transferred to the disk as part of the installation process.

Since all the options are true for unconditional disk formatting, Option D is the correct choice.
