Which approach best supports a judgement about the suitability of a secondary storage medium for an application?.

- B.Choose the medium with the longest name
- C.Assume that every medium has identical capacity and access speed
- D.Choose a medium without considering the application's requirements
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Suitability should be judged by comparing the application's capacity and access-speed requirements with the characteristics of the available media.
Explanation
Why this works
The specification requires comparisons of capacity and speed of access and a judgement about suitability for different applications. A suitable judgement must therefore link the application's requirements to the media characteristics.
