A
An index of where each file is
B
Identification of each file’s type
C
Metadata about each file

The contents of each file
E
a system of folders and subfolders
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most media file types can store metadata directly in the file itself. This is typically done in the file header, which is a block of storage that is separate from the actual media payload.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is file metadata? A great way to think of file metadata is as extra information about a file, carried along with that file, that makes it easier to use and find. So it’s not the actual document or photo itself, it’s information about it-like the file’s name, thumbnail image, or creation date.

Detailed explanation-3: -The metadata contained in a file header are usually stored at the start of the file, but might be present in other areas too, often including the end, depending on the file format or the type of data contained.

Detailed explanation-4: -Folder’s Metadata Each folder has a set of standard metadata you can access and modify(if you have the proper permissions) in the Properties tab.
