What are some common criteria used to classify computer files?

  1. File size and creation date only.
  2. File type and content. ✓
  3. Operating system compatibility and hardware requirements.
  4. Font style and color used within the document itself.

Explanation

Files are classified by type (document, image, video) and content (project name, subject). This helps organize and find files quickly. Good classification makes file management efficient.

Size and dates help sorting but aren’t primary classifications. System compatibility matters but isn’t how we group files. Font details are too specific for classification.

Organizing by type and content creates logical file structures. You know exactly where to look for specific files.
