The answer is "4".

Explanation:

A partition is just a way to arrange the physical space on a hard disc. This partition allows you to view one disc as a hard disc, but it enables you to break a hard disc, with the presence of several separate disc drives. If the drive is MBR, a maximum of four principal partitions can be provided on the hard disc, where three primary and 1 extended partition.
