The correct answer is: Track.

Explanation:
Disk storage is organised hierarchically:
Cylinder → A set of tracks aligned vertically across platters.
Track → A circular path on a disk surface where data is magnetically recorded.
Sector → A subdivision of a track, used for addressing.
The common methods of physical organisation are cylinder and track.
So, the answer is Track.

Sectors are small part of Track of disk, so Track is bigger term to include sector.
