Question: What is the difference between reading the list of disk partitions from `/proc/partitions` and getting it using `fdisk -l`?

  1. `/proc/partitions` represents the disk partition table more accurately than `fdisk -l`
  2. `/proc/partitions` shows only mounted drives. `fdisk -l` shows all drivers.
  3. There is no difference between the two, and both lists contain the same data.
  4. `/proc/partitions` is the kernel's list of partitions held in ram. `fdisk -l` reads the partition table from the drive itself.

Answer: The correct answer of the above question is Option D:`/proc/partitions` is the kernel's list of partitions held in ram. `fdisk -l` reads the partition table from the drive itself.
