E.

Partition the unallocated space to provide more available space

Answers
E.

Partition the unallocated space to provide more available space

Suggested answer: E

Explanation:

If drive C is running out of space and there is unallocated space available on the disk, the best solution is to partition the unallocated space and extend drive C to include the new partition. This can be done without significant downtime and will immediately provide more space for the system.

Partition the unallocated space (Answer E): This is the simplest and least disruptive method to increase the available space on drive C.

Decreasing the page/swap file (Option A): This may free up some space but can negatively impact system performance.

Reformatting (Option B): Reformatting would result in significant downtime and data loss, making it an impractical option.

Whole disk encryption (Option C): This does not solve the issue of disk space.

Enforcing disk quotas (Option D): Disk quotas manage space usage but won't free up space on drive C.
