Answer:

Defragmenter.

Explanation:

The computer system has two basic components, namely, hardware and software. The hardware is the physical part of the computer system. It is divided into four parts, they are, input, output, memory and storage, and processor.

The memory and storage unit are used to run and display current task, and store data permanently, respectively. The processor accesses data in a storage for processing. When data in the storage unit are fragmented, it takes long time for the processor to retrieve it for processing, this slows or reduces system performance.

The disk defragmenter is an optimization utility tool used to relocate data fragments and reorganise files in a storage to boost system performance.
