Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Concept

RAID levels are distinguished by the unit of data striping, the placement of parity information, and the error-control mechanism. RAID 2 uses Hamming-code error correction; RAID 3 uses bit- or byte-level striping with dedicated parity; RAID 4 uses block-level striping with dedicated parity; and RAID 5 distributes block-level parity across the disks.

Application

  1. RAID level 2 therefore corresponds to error-correcting parity (III).

  2. RAID level 4 corresponds to block-interleaved parity (IV).

  3. RAID level 5 corresponds to block-interleaved distributed parity (II).

  4. RAID level 3 corresponds to bit-interleaved parity (I).

Cross-check

RAID 2

Bit-level

RAID 3

Bit/byte-level

Dedicated parity

RAID 4

Block-level

Dedicated parity

RAID 5

Block-level

Distributed parity

The parity placement separates RAID 4 from RAID 5; the striping unit separates RAID 3 from the block-level schemes; and Hamming-code error correction identifies RAID 2.

Result

The resulting mapping is A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I.
