Why is traditional defragmentation generally unnecessary on a solid-state drive?

Correct answer: No mechanical head must move to reach data locations

The governing concept is the difference between mechanical and electronic storage access. A hard disk may suffer delays when a mechanical head moves between fragmented areas, but an SSD reads flash cells electronically and has no moving read head. Consequently, ordinary file fragmentation does not create the same seek penalty, while unnecessary defragmentation can add writes to flash memory. Option C is correct; the other choices make false claims about SSD files, audio-only storage, or operating systems.
