A new form of digital memory stores larger amounts of information than current forms by compressing graphic, audio, and video files according to how often they are used, as calculated by an algorithm. Files that are not used often at all are compressed to lower quality levels than those that are used frequently, making the capacity of the new memory system almost three times larger than that of existing memory systems. The company responsible for the new digital memory's creation plans to market it for business and personal use since a consumer poll reveals that in both cases extremely large capacities for storage are always in demand.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt regarding the effectiveness of the company's plan?

A. The compression of all types of digital files can be executed in a sophisticated manner so that the compressed result has not been distorted in a way that will render it undesirable or ineffective for further use.

B. In a recent survey it was noted that the storage and management of digital information in products receives more attention by users looking for solutions for commercial applications than for personal applications.

C. Most products that rely on digital memory to function are priced relative to the capacity of the storage provided by that memory although in some cases products are sold separately to memory components allowing the consumer to then choose from a variety of storage sizes.

D. Almost 90% of the vast number of files stored by businesses are never retrieved and are stored at a high cost, but when a specific file is needed, it may contain information relevant to current issues that may be crucial to the business.

E. Memory systems are likely to be incompatible with a digital product that was developed before their release since the compatibility of digital products is limited and tends, therefore, to be focused on integration with memory systems released at the same time.

OPTION A:- INCORRECT
If true that the compression digital files can be done in a sophisticated manner so that it won't be distorted in a way that will make it undesirable shows the effectiveness of the company's plan and casts no doubt concerning it.

OPTION B:- INCORRECT
The fact that it can solve more commercial application than personal applications according to a recent survey doesn't cause a serious doubt in its effectiveness, it only shows that it will be more effective in the commercial applications than personal applications.

OPTION C:- INCORRECT
This option explains how products that rely on digital memory are priced according to the storage capacity and how a consumer can choose from a variety of storage size that is sold separately , for example a memory card or flash drive.

OPTION D:- INCORRECT
If 90% of the numbers of the file stored are never retrieved, it can be compressed to a lower quality levels because according to the plan made by the company, files that are not often used at all are compressed to a lower quality levels than those that are used frequently, and when a specific file is needed, it can be accessed according to its groupings.

OPTION E:- CORRECT
This causes the most serious doubt in the company's plan because, if memory systems are incompatible with a digital product that was developed before their release, it cripples the effectiveness of the memory system and makes its compatibility limited.
