The correct response regarding the advantage of a solid-state drive (SSD) over a hard disk drive (HDD) is not explicitly listed in the options provided. However, it's important to note the key advantages of SSDs over HDDs typically include:

1. **Speed**: SSDs are significantly faster than HDDs, often providing read and write speeds of several hundred MB/sec (e.g., 500 MB/sec or more for many consumer SSDs), while standard HDDs generally operate at much lower speeds (often in the range of 50 to 150 MB/sec).

2. **Durability**: SSDs are more durable because they have no moving parts, which makes them less susceptible to physical shock and wear.

3. **Energy Efficiency**: SSDs consume less power than HDDs, which can lead to better battery life in portable devices.

4. **Noise**: SSDs are silent because they do not have moving parts, whereas HDDs can be noisy due to spinning disks and moving read/write heads.

Given the options, none accurately reflect the primary advantages of SSDs. The claim that "SSD offers a speed between 50 to 250MB/sec" is misleading since most SSDs typically offer much higher speeds. Therefore, none of the provided responses accurately state an advantage of SSDs over HDDs.
