Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Degraded
The 'State' line clearly indicates 'clean, degraded', and one device is marked as 'removed'. The array is operational but missing a drive.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Rebuilding
Why it's wrong here
Rebuilding status would show a progress percentage and a 'recovering' state. The output shows no such activity.
- ✓
Degraded
Why this is correct
'State : clean, degraded' and a 'removed' device confirm the array is running in a degraded mode without full redundancy.
- ✗
Healthy
Why it's wrong here
A healthy array would show all devices active and no 'degraded' state. Here, a drive is missing.
- ✗
Failed
Why it's wrong here
A failed array would have a state of 'failed' and insufficient active devices to remain operational. This array is still functional.
Quick reference
RAID Level Comparison
| RAID Level | Min Disks | Fault Tolerance | Read | Write | Usable Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAID 0 | 2 | None | Excellent | Excellent | 100% |
| RAID 1 | 2 | 1 disk | Good | Moderate | 50% |
| RAID 5 | 3 | 1 disk | Good | Moderate | 67–94% |
| RAID 6 | 4 | 2 disks | Good | Lower | 50–88% |
| RAID 10 | 4 | 1 disk per mirror | Excellent | Good | 50% |
RAID is not a backup strategy — it protects against disk failure but not against accidental deletion, ransomware, or site-level events.
