set?

A.
RAID Level 5

B.
RAID Level 0

ensures there is no single point of failure.
Incorrect Answers:
B: RAID Level 0 does not use a parity bit. It just stripes data over several drives.
C: RAID Level 2 does not use block level parity. It uses hamming code parity.
D: RAID Level 1 does not use a parity bit. It uses mirroring of drives.
