The answer is the second one: fragmented.

Explanation for each option:

  • Blocks: This term refers to the basic units of storage on a disk, but it does not describe how files are stored in relation to each other.
  • Fragmented: This is the correct answer. Fragmentation occurs when files are divided into pieces and scattered across different segments of the drive, which can slow down access times.
  • Contiguous: This term means that files are stored in a continuous sequence of blocks, which is the opposite of fragmentation.
  • Detached: This term is not typically used in the context of file storage on a drive.

In summary, files can end up in fragmented segments all over the drive, leading to decreased performance.
