Why each option

Tablets are designed with solid-state storage (NAND flash) as a standard component due to their need for compact, lightweight, shock-resistant, and low-power storage with no moving parts.

ATabletCorrect

Tablets are purpose-built mobile devices with no room or tolerance for mechanical hard drives - they universally ship with NAND flash-based solid-state storage as a standard design requirement. The absence of moving parts makes SSDs ideal for portable devices subject to movement and shock. Storage servers, laptops, and desktops have historically shipped with HDDs as the default, with SSDs being optional upgrades.

BStorage server

Storage servers are designed for maximum capacity and cost-efficiency, so they typically ship with high-capacity HDDs rather than SSDs.

CLaptop

Traditional laptops historically shipped with HDDs as the standard drive, with SSDs being a premium or optional configuration.

DDesktop PC

Desktop PCs traditionally shipped with HDDs as the standard storage device due to lower cost per gigabyte requirements.
