Which statement describes a recovery partition?

The statement that describes a recovery partition is:

“It is a section of the disk, that is inaccessible to the user, containing an image that can be used to restore the computer to its original configuration.”

This statement accurately defines a recovery partition. A recovery partition is a partition on the hard disk of a computer that contains system recovery data, typically a saved image of the operating system in its original configuration. It’s often created by the computer manufacturer and is used to restore the computer to the state it was in when it left the factory. This can be useful for troubleshooting and fixing problems with the operating system. Generally, the recovery partition is hidden and not directly accessible under normal use to prevent accidental modification or deletion.

The other statements refer to different concepts:

• “It is used to boot an operating system by default.” This statement is more applicable to an active or primary partition, which contains the boot loader or operating system files necessary to start the system.
• “It is a physical section of a hard disk. It can contain an operating system to boot the system and cannot be subdivided.” This describes a primary partition. A primary partition can hold an operating system and is used to boot the system, but it does not specifically describe a recovery partition.
• “It is often used to organize data storage by subdividing it into as many as 23 logical sections.” This statement describes logical drives within an extended partition, which is a way to organize data storage on a disk. It is not a description of a recovery partition.
