Multiple Choice 2 points Aread/write __ is the mechanism that reads and writes items in the drive as it barely touches the disk's recordin index head notch vector

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the mechanism that reads and writes items in a drive as it barely touches the disk's recording. The options provided are index, head, notch, and vector.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The mechanism that reads and writes items in a drive as it barely touches the disk's recording is known as the "head". The head is a part of the hard drive that moves across the disk's surface to read and write data.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The other options, index, notch, and vector, do not have the same function as the head in a hard drive. The index is a pointer to the location of data on the disk, the notch is a physical feature on the disk, and the vector is a mathematical concept.
