Yes, I understood this. Apparently Your Name is the one who didn't
bother reading your original post, because if he had he would have read
past "HD" to see the model Mac you are referencing, which doesn't even
have an option for hard drives as it's an SSD-only model - something I
figured out within a few seconds of reading your original post. 😉

At any rate, defragging isn't something you need to do with modern Macs
(even those with hard drives).
