Option A is correct. File slack is the unused space at the end of a file, and that's a fact. Although, I do wonder if file slack can be used to store hidden messages, like secret codes or love letters. Wouldn't that be a plot twist!

B is the right answer. Larger clusters mean more wasted space, and that's just basic file system knowledge. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to go back to Computers 101.

I think D is the correct answer. File slack can definitely contain sensitive data, that's why it's important to analyze it during forensics.

Option B is the correct answer. Larger cluster size means more wasted space, so file slack will increase, not decrease.
