Which of the following statements about an extended partition are true? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

An extended partition is designed to be subdivided into multiple logical drives, each of which can then be independently formatted and assigned a drive letter, allowing more than four usable volumes on an MBR disk.

Unlike primary partitions, an extended partition has no file system of its own and cannot be assigned a drive letter - it functions purely as a boundary container holding logical drives within its allocated space.

Only one extended partition is permitted on a single MBR basic disk. The MBR supports a maximum of four partition table entries total, which means up to three primary partitions plus one extended partition.

An extended partition can contain many logical drives, not just one - this flexibility is precisely why extended partitions exist, to work around the four-partition limit imposed by the MBR partition table structure.
