Which of the following RAID levels stripes data across sets of disks and also mirrors those disks?
The correct answer is A. RAID 1+0. RAID 1+0, also known as RAID 10, combines striping and mirroring to provide both performance and redundancy.

Why each option
RAID 1+0, also known as RAID 10, combines striping and mirroring to provide both performance and redundancy.
RAID 1+0 (or RAID 10) achieves high performance by striping data across multiple mirrored pairs of disks. This configuration offers excellent fault tolerance because if one disk in a mirrored pair fails, the data is still available from its mirror, and performance is good due to striping.
RAID 4 uses striping with a dedicated parity disk, which can become a performance bottleneck during writes and does not involve mirroring.
RAID 5 uses striping with distributed parity across all disks, providing good performance and fault tolerance, but it does not use mirroring.
RAID 6 uses striping with dual distributed parity, offering higher fault tolerance than RAID 5 (can withstand two disk failures), but it also does not involve mirroring.
