Why each option
Network Attached Storage (NAS) is the best method for sharing files between computers with continuous availability, as it acts as a dedicated file server independent of individual computer power states.
A (USB storage) is typically connected to a single computer and is only available when that specific computer is on and the drive is connected.
B (Internal storage) is part of a single computer and its files are only accessible when that specific computer is turned on.
C (Direct attached storage - DAS) is storage directly connected to a single computer (e.g., an external hard drive via USB/Thunderbolt) and its files are only available when that computer is on.
D (Network Attached Storage - NAS) is the best storage method because it connects directly to the network and operates as an independent file server, allowing both computers to access files regardless of whether the other computer is turned on. NAS devices are designed for continuous availability and central file sharing.
