  1. Read-Write-Execute for Owner-Group-Others

  2. Read-Execute-Write for Other-Group-Owner

  3. Read-Execute-Write for Group-other-Owner

A Correct answer
Explanation

The standard Linux file permission notation uses three groups (owner, group, others) with three characters each (read, write, execute). The pattern 'xxx xxx xxx' represents the rwx/rwx/rwx format, where each xxx shows Read-Write-Execute permissions for Owner-Group-Others respectively. This is the fundamental Unix permission model.

  1. Splitting files into pieces for easy sending over internet.

  2. Merging up of splitted file pieces into original file after receiving from the internet.

  3. Internal fragments of files in hard drive.

  4. Concatenate fragments of data into contiguous blocks in memory or on a hard drive.

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

This technical question asks for the definition of defragmentation, with the claimed answer being 'Concatenate fragments of data into contiguous blocks in memory or on a hard drive.' Defragmentation is indeed the process of rearranging fragmented file pieces so they are stored in contiguous (adjacent) blocks on a disk, which improves read/write performance. Option A incorrectly reverses the definition, Option B describes file reassembly after network transfer (not defragmentation), and Option C mentions fragments without explaining the process.
