The hibernate feature takes a snapshot of whatever's in your computer's working/volatile memory (RAM) and saves it to the hard disk, meaning that when you reboot after hibernating, your computer will start up quicker and the programs and files you had open before hibernating will still be open. Since it saves the entire contents of the RAM, it will create a file that's the same filesize as the amount of RAM you have installed in your computer. If you really need the disk space then you could try disabling the hibernate feature and reclaim a few gigabytes of space on your C: drive, however you're on a laptop it will no longer save the state of your computer (including open files/windows/programs) whenever it runs critically low on battery charge; since that's what the hibernate feature does.

My interviewer asked how you know data is updated or saved in hibernate?

Data is not updated or saved in hibernate. Hibernate is where the contents of main memory and CPU status is saved to a disk file and then the computer is shut down. On the next startup, the boot sequence reloads the CPU and memory state from that file, instead of the normal boot sequence. If a file was loaded in an editor and not saved before hibernate, then it will still be loaded in that editor and not saved after hibernate. As far as updates, since the computer is turned of during hibernate, updates are impossible.
