What is the capacity of a 74-minute CD?

  1. 650MB

  2. 700MB

  3. 25GB

  4. 50GB

The correct answer is: 650MB

A 74-minute CD has a capacity of 650MB. This is because the CD is designed to hold audio data, which has a different file format than standard data files like documents or videos. This means that while a standard data CD may have a capacity of 700MB, a audio CD has less capacity because it has a different file format that requires more space for the same amount of audio. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not taking into account the format of the data being stored on the CD. The correct answer is A, as it takes into account the specific format and limitations of a 74-minute CD.
