Where can digitized images be stored?

• A. In paper folders only
• B. On a hard drive, optical disk, or other computer-readable media
• C. In a municipal library
• D. On magnetic paper tape

Answer: (B)

Digitized images are data files that need to be stored on media a computer can read. A hard drive, optical disk, or other computer-readable media provide digital storage that lets software access and manage the files. Paper folders only hold physical copies, not digital data, so they don’t store digitized images in digital form. A municipal library is a place for preserving and lending information, not a storage medium itself. Magnetic tape is a storage medium, but the idea of “other computer-readable media” broadens to include all current digital options like USB drives, SSDs, CDs/DVDs, and cloud storage. That makes the option describing hard drives, optical disks, or other computer-readable media the best fit.
