B
Empty spaces collected together (1)
C
Files are moved to be stored together (1)
D
Fewer disc accesses are needed (1)
E
More disc access are needed (1)
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of finding and consolidating fragmented files is called defragmentation. Disk Defragmenter consolidates the fragments to one location on the disk drive. As a result, Windows accesses files faster, and new files are less likely to be fragmented.

Detailed explanation-2: -Fragmentation makes your hard disk do extra work that can slow down your computer. Removable storage devices such as USB flash drives can also become fragmented. Disk Defragmenter in Windows rearranges fragmented data so your disks and drives can work more efficiently.

Detailed explanation-3: -Defragmentation software takes the fragmented files and rearranges the segments so that they run contiguously. This decreases read/write time, thereby speeding up computer performance.
