Why is defragmentation performed on a traditional hard disk?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To organize scattered file fragments

The governing concept is file fragmentation. As files are created, deleted, and enlarged, their pieces may be stored in separate areas of a magnetic hard disk. Defragmentation rearranges those pieces into a more continuous layout, reducing unnecessary movement of the read/write head and potentially improving access time. Therefore, option A is correct. It does not convert file formats, install drivers, or remove the operating system, and it is generally unnecessary for SSDs.
