Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disk quota is a feature that enables the allocation of a specific amount of disk space to a user. It restricts the amount of disk space a user can use in order to prevent one user from monopolizing the available disk space.

Answer: B
 An inode (short for index node) is a data structure used in many file systems. It stores important information about a file such as its owner, permissions, timestamps, and disk block location. It also contains a pointer to the disk block(s) where the actual contents of the file are stored. Inodes can be used to implement disk quotas by assigning a quota limit to each user's inode.
