Glad to see we aren't doing your homework for you. Least own up to it if you were confused and needed help figuring that out. I can't imagine what class that would be for, where a basic question like that would come into play.
Address = Often used to describe a website address. Example: http://www.yahoo.com./ Yahoo.com is the address of where the browser is going.
Drive = This referrers to the physical platters that make up the storage container for information. It's often found like: C:\ where the C Drive is where the information is to be stored.
File Path = It starts with the Drive letter and then has a path of folders to get to the last directory that will hold the file that you are looking for. Example: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ (if you are looking for your hosts file)
Root = This is mainly used in two ways. 1.) Root Directory and this means that it's the top most directory / drive. Example: instead of C:\Windows\System32\ the root of the path is C:\. 2.) Root is the administrator account on all Linux / Unix operating systems. It's the top administrator that has no limitations to what it can do.
