B. Disk sector corruption within swap files.
C. Total breakdown of memory allocation tracking registers.

Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Internal fragmentation happens when memory is allocated in fixed-size blocks (like pages), and a process requests less memory than the block size, leaving the remainder wasted inside that block.
