Correct answer
The tachograph disc lasts 24 hours and the card lasts 5 years.

These are different concepts: a sheet’s capacity and a reusable card’s validity, not five years of data stored without downloads. Workshop cards have a different regime; this question concerns a driver card. Applicable use, download and record-retention deadlines must be observed separately.
