Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
The correct option is B (higher than). In standard Constant Angular Velocity (CAV) disks, each concentric track stores the exact same amount of data bits. Because the innermost track has the smallest circumference (physical length), the data bits must be packed much closer together, resulting in a higher recording density compared to the larger outermost track.
