A user has 6,250 Megabytes worth of pictures they would like to back up. At the very MINIMUM, which of the following could backup these pictures to a single medium?

The correct answer is A. DL DVD Burner. 6,250 MB (approximately 6.1 GB) of data must fit on a single disc or tape. A standard CD holds only ~700 MB - far too small.

Explanation

6,250 MB (approximately 6.1 GB) of data must fit on a single disc or tape. A standard CD holds only ~700 MB - far too small. A standard single-layer DVD holds ~4.7 GB (~4,700 MB) - still insufficient. A Dual-Layer (DL) DVD holds ~8.5 GB (~8,500 MB), which is enough to hold 6,250 MB. A Blu-ray disc holds ~25 GB and an LTO tape holds 100 GB or more - both would work but represent far more capacity than needed. The question asks for the MINIMUM viable medium, making the DL DVD the correct answer as the smallest capacity option that can still hold the data.
