Why each option

A standard CD-RW holds approximately 700MB of data. Dividing 700MB by 10MB per file yields a maximum of 70 files.

A50

50 files would only use 500MB, leaving 200MB unused and not representing the maximum capacity.

B70Correct

A CD-RW disc has a standard capacity of approximately 700MB. Dividing 700MB by 10MB per audio file gives exactly 70 files, which is the maximum number that can be stored without exceeding the disc's capacity.

C100

100 files would require 1000MB (1GB), which exceeds the 700MB capacity of a standard CD-RW.

D120

120 files would require 1200MB, far exceeding the 700MB limit of a CD-RW disc.
