Explanation:

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is used for grouping a set of hard disks for reliable data storage using techniques such as striping, parity and mirroring. RAID configuration can be done in multiple levels which have been standardized:

RAID 0 : Simple striping

RAID 1 : Disk mirroring

RAID 5 : Distributed parity

RAID 5 provides for block level striping of disks with distributed parity (parity is distributed between the drives that form part of the configuration)

RAID 5 requires a minimum of three hard disks and not two as specified in the question.
