I was unsure, but A makes sense. Slack space is different.

I’m pretty confident that the answer is A) Cluster. I recall a similar question in our last mock exam that focused on file systems.

I’m a bit confused. I thought slack space was related to storage, but now I’m wondering if it’s actually the answer here.

I remember practicing a question about disk structures, and I think clusters were mentioned as well. Could it be something else though?

I think the smallest allocation unit is a cluster, but I’m not completely sure. It feels like I’ve seen that term a lot in my studies.
