CompTIA A+ 220-1102 Practice Question

Disk Defragment is the Windows tool specifically designed for reorganizing fragmented data on a hard drive to enable efficient access and storage. When files are fragmented, the computer must search multiple locations on the disk for the fragments of the file, which can significantly slow down performance. Using Disk Defragment, which in Windows 10 can be accessed by searching for 'Defragment and Optimize Drives', allows for the rearrangement of these data segments into a contiguous order, thereby improving access times and overall system performance. Other answers provided, while useful for other diagnostic or configuration purposes, do not perform defragmentation of a hard drive.
