A Correct answer
Explanation

Data striping (used in RAID 0) spreads data across multiple disks to improve read/write performance by allowing simultaneous operations. It does not provide redundancy - in fact, striping alone increases risk of data loss because if one disk fails, all data is lost. Redundancy comes from mirroring or parity schemes.
