Explanation

Disk Cleanup (A) is the correct tool because it is a built-in Windows utility specifically designed to safely remove temporary files, including cached Internet files, without risking damage to the operating system or user data - making it the fastest and safest solution for this scenario.

Why the others are wrong:

• fdisk (B) is a disk partitioning tool used to create, delete, or manage drive partitions - it has nothing to do with cleaning files and could destroy all data on the disk if misused.
• chkdsk (C) checks the disk for file system errors and bad sectors; it repairs structural problems but does not delete temporary or unnecessary files.
• Disk Defragmentation (D) reorganizes fragmented data on the disk to improve performance but does not free up disk space or remove any files.

Memory tip: Think of Disk Cleanup = Clean up clutter. The name tells you exactly what it does - it is the "broom" of Windows utilities. If a question mentions freeing space or removing junk files, Disk Cleanup is almost always the answer.
