Why the answer is Magnetic Disk? Please explain me.

What is meant by access time?

Option A and E, creates ambiguity here. Floppy disk is itself an example of magnetic disk.

How are you saying that it should be a floppy disk?

Kindly give reasons.

Magnetic disk is a generic name of all magnetic storage devices, it includes your hard drives, floppy disks, magnetic recording tape, and magnetic stripes on credit cards.
