B Correct answer
Explanation

Striping in RAID distributes data across multiple disks, allowing simultaneous read/write operations which significantly improves performance. Parity provides redundancy, mirroring creates identical copies for fault tolerance, and clustering combines multiple systems - none of these primarily improve performance through data distribution.
