Which statement is true about Mac computers and drive letters?

• A. They use drive letters like C: and D:
• B. They do not use drive letters, and the main disk is named Macintosh HD
• C. They require Windows to access main disk
• D. They can use drive letters only on external drives

Answer: (B)

Mac computers don’t use drive letters at all. In macOS, disks and partitions are treated as volumes that are mounted and identified by their names and their filesystem paths, not by a letter like C or D. The main startup disk is typically named Macintosh HD by default, and you access its contents through Finder or paths such as /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/yourname. External drives are just separate volumes with their own names, but they don’t receive drive letters either. This is different from Windows, which assigns drive letters to each mounted partition. So the true statement is that Mac systems don’t use drive letters, and the main disk is named Macintosh HD.
