C Correct answer
Explanation

In IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) configurations, one drive must be designated as master and the other as slave on the same cable. The master drive is typically the bootable drive, so the second drive should be configured as slave to prevent conflicts. 'Beta' and 'secondary' are not valid IDE drive configurations.
