Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In optical disks, which plastic disk do they use?
A
the plastic which can reflect the laser beam
B
Magnetic storage is read-write, which makes it possible to re-use the storage capacity over and over again by deleting older data
C
1, 099, 511, 627, 776 bytes
D
1GB to 32GB depending on the price paid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hard plastic substrate forms the base, and then a reflective layer–typically aluminum foil for mass-produced disks–is used to encode the digital data. Next, a layer of clear polycarbonate protects the foil and allows the laser beam to pass through to the reflective layer.

Detailed explanation-2: -An optical disk is any computer disk that uses optical storage techniques and technology to read and write data. It is a computer storage disk that stores data digitally and uses laser beams (transmitted from a laser head mounted on an optical disk drive) to read and write data.

Detailed explanation-3: -In optical-storage technology, a laser beam encodes digital data onto an optical, or laser, disk in the form of tiny pits arranged in a spiral track on the disk’s surface.
