Which of the following is an example of the proper usage of CHKDSK to check and automatically repair any damage to a filesystem on drive D of a Windows computer?
A
CHKDSK D:/f
B
CHKDSK D:/v
C
CHKDSK D:/y
D
CHKDSK D:-fix
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chkdsk examines disk space and disk use and provides a status report specific to each file system. The status report shows errors found in the file system. If you run chkdsk without the /f parameter on an active partition, it might report spurious errors because it cannot lock the drive.

Detailed explanation-2: -The CHKDSK command is used to scan through your entire hard drive to find and fix any errors. For example, when your computer freezes, you cannot access a certain disk due to a corrupted file system, then you can use the CHKDSK commands to check and fix the drive errors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your main hard drive will almost always be the C drive, so to check that, type CHKDSK C: and then hit Enter. The program will then run and check your disk for errors, and fix any that it finds.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chkdsk /F /R locates and repairs any encountered errors. CHKDSK (no switches) runs an analysis utility on the C: drive, which checks the file system, security descriptors, file name linkage and file system structure. CHKDSK /F fixes errors on the disk.
