A Correct answer
Explanation

When optical media like CDs and DVDs are closed (finalized), they become read-only and cannot be modified or written to again. This makes them immune to virus infection after finalization, provided no infected files were already on them when burned. This is a key advantage of optical media for long-term backups.
