C, it's a magnetic disk, which can access data directly (randomly).

Flash memory using non-moving chips, e.g. solid state drives and USB memory sticks. It uses direct access.

Then why isnt A correct?

it can access the data in any sequence, right?

The diagram depicts a circular disc shaped storage medium. Therefore the only logical choice would either be a HDD or Optical disc - A flash drive does not look like that, they are just pure silicon chips, and magnetic tape is sequential access. But since Optical discs can be accessed in any order (direct access), D is wrong. Thus it is a HDD which accesses data directly, C is correct.
