Which acronym is the correct expansion for the Digital Video Disc-Rewritable format?

• A. Digital Video Disc
• B. Digital Video Disc-Recordable
• C. Digital Video Disc-Rewritable
• D. DVD-RW

Answer: (D)

Understanding what each part of the DVD acronym stands for helps you choose the right expansion. DVD stands for Digital Versatile Disc, not Digital Video Disc, and the RW at the end means ReWritable, indicating the disc can be erased and rewritten multiple times. So the correct form is DVD-RW, which corresponds to Digital Versatile Disc ReWritable. The other options use Video instead of Versatile or imply a write-once format (Recordable) rather than rewritable, which doesn’t match the RW capability.
