問 83
- ア
正解 An archive means combining multiple files into a single file for saving and storage. It is the act of bundling scattered files together for long-term storage, backup, or distribution, which exactly matches the question's phrase “combining multiple files into one.” Therefore the correct answer is ア.
Incorrectイ
A relational database is a data management method that manages data in the form of tables and handles them by relating tables to one another. It is not the act of combining files into one, but a mechanism for structuring and managing data, so it is wrong.
Incorrectウ
Striping is a technique used in RAID 0 and the like that spreads a single set of data across multiple disks when writing, to speed up access. It disperses data rather than bundling files together, so its purpose is the opposite, making it wrong.
Incorrectエ
Swapping is a memory management method that exchanges data in memory with auxiliary storage when main memory is insufficient. It has nothing to do with combining files, so it is wrong.
- Archive = the act of combining multiple files into one for saving and storage (used for long-term storage, backup, and distribution).
- Distinguishing confusable terms: striping (RAID's distributed writes), swapping (exchanging main memory with auxiliary storage), and relational database (data management via tables) are none of them the act of bundling files together.
