Your hard disk was partitioned in such a way that each cluster is 32KB. There was originally a file on the system that occupied seven clusters, but it was erased. The OS has now reclaimed one of those clusters with a 610 byte file. How would you best describe that particular cluster now? (For the purposes of this question, ignore binary calcuations.)

a. 610 bytes of data and 31,390 bytes of unallocated space
b. 610 bytes of data and 31,390 bytes of random zeroes and ones following the EOF marker
c. 610 bytes of data followed by the equivalent of 31,390 bytes of null space (no electrical charge at all)
d. 610 bytes of data followed by 31,390 bytes of the previous file in the slack space

d.
