The statement "Large-capacity storage media cost less per byte but are slower" best describes a storage tradeoff. In this case, one must choose between a larger storage capacity or faster access times, and it often comes down to a balance between cost and performance. Option A describes a situation where both speed and capacity are high, which is not a tradeoff. Option B describes a situation where both speed and cost are high, which is also not a tradeoff. Option C describes a situation where both cost and speed are low, which is not a tradeoff either.
