D Correct answer
Explanation

Files are used for permanent storage of data in computer systems. While variables, arrays, and structures store data temporarily in RAM (volatile memory), files store data on secondary storage devices (hard disks, SSDs) which retain data even when power is turned off (non-volatile). This makes files suitable for long-term data persistence.
