What is data storage?

  1. A process of archiving information

  2. The ability to restore deleted files

  3. A way to organize data

  4. A way to store and retrieve data

The correct answer is: A way to store and retrieve data

Data storage refers to the process of storing and retrieving data electronically or physically. A is incorrect because it only focuses on archiving, which is only one aspect of data storage. B is incorrect because the ability to restore deleted files is just one feature that may be included in data storage, not the entire concept. C is incorrect because it only mentions organizing data, which is just one aspect of data storage and not the full definition. D encompasses the entire concept of data storage and is therefore the correct answer choice.
