Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Sector. In computer disk storage, a sector is a subdivision of a track on a magnetic disk or optical disc. Formatting is the process that creates the magnetic surface of the disc by forming concentric circles called tracks around the disc.
Detailed explanation-2: -The surfaces are usually divided into concentric rings, called tracks, and these in turn are divided into sectors. This division is used to specify locations on the hard disk and to allocate disk space to files. To find a given place on the hard disk, one might say “surface 3, track 5, sector 7”.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. Data is stored in concentric circles called Tracks.
