Explanation RAID 5 is the correct answer because it uses both striping and parity. In RAID 5, data is striped across multiple drives and parity information is also distributed across the drives. This means that if one drive fails, the data can be rebuilt using the parity information from the remaining drives. RAID 0 does not have any redundancy, RAID 1 is a simple mirroring without parity, RAID 3 uses dedicated parity drive, and no such RAID level exists is not a valid option.
