    RAID 5 provides a balance of performance and redundancy by using:

    a)
    Mirroring, where all data is duplicated on another drive.
    b)
    Striping with distributed parity.
    d)
    Double-parity, allowing for two drive failures.
    c)
    Striping without any parity or redundancy.

    Explanation

    In RAID 5, data is striped across multiple drives for performance, just like RAID 0. However, it also calculates parity information for blocks of data and distributes this parity across all drives. This allows the array to withstand the failure of any single drive without data loss.
