Question

A _________ is a hierarchical structure that stores information about objects on the network.

• A. Tree
• B. File
• C. Folder
• D. Directory

Hint:

Directories store and manage network resources in a structured, searchable format.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A directory is a hierarchical structure used in computing and networking to organize and store information about objects such as users, computers, printers, and other resources. In network environments, directories are especially important in directory services like LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) or Active Directory, where they manage user identities and permissions centrally. The directory acts like a database but is optimized for reading and searching rather than writing.
