Track - Circular portion that passes under read and writes head as the disk rotates.
Sectors - Each track is divided into sectors with fixed number of bytes.
Cluster - Fixed number of sectors treated as one unit for storage by the operating system.
Cylinder- recording of data vertically reduces access arm movement.

Set of tracks (group of disks) that can be read without repositioning of r/w heads. So the correct answer is the cylinder.

The technology is used in a magnetic disk, where the read and write operation function on track and the tracks is the collection of multiple segments where the data are stored.

The cylinder can be defined as a division of disk drive data and it is used in the 'Fixed block architecture' of the disk. Here the 'number of cylinders' equals the 'number of tracks'.
