Help with floppy drive question

Hi ya all, I'm new here and looking forward to take the A+ exam soon. I've been studying using Myers A+ All In One/Passport and sources on the internet. There's this question on the free ExamDrill test that asked for the name of the floppy drive power connector:
The power connector on a floppy drive is called a:
a)Berg connecter
b)Molex
c)has no formal name
d) mini molex

The corect answer according to the test is a(berg) but I think mini molex is also true. What do you guys think? Thanks for any help.

The Floppy Drive uses a mini-molex connector.

The power connector in a FDD is called a Berg Connector.

According to the site that Bellboy provides, the berg connector is sometimes referred to as mini molex. I guess both of them can be used then? Thanks for the help. Really appreciates it.

Both Berg and Molex are company names. Furthermore,
both companies make small connectors for use in several
products. I'll bet the floppy drive power connector can be
purchased from either company.

oldgearhead, that is correct... But on the exam, if I get this question which answer do I give?
