What does MFT stand for, used by NTFS?

Master File Table
Main Frame Terminal
Massive File Tracker
Multipurpose File Template

The correct answer is: Master File Table

NTFS (New Technology File System) uses MFT, which stands for Master File Table. The Master File Table is a crucial component of the NTFS file system and acts as a database that stores information about all files and directories on an NTFS volume. It includes attributes such as file size, permissions, timestamps, and pointers to the actual data content of the file. This table helps in the organization and management of files on an NTFS volume efficiently. The other options are not correct: - Main Frame Terminal (B) does not relate to the Master File Table used by NTFS. - Massive File Tracker (C) is not a term used in the context of NTFS or file systems. - Multipurpose File Template (D) is not a term associated with the Master File Table in NTFS.
