Why each option

NTFS is the most secure and feature-rich file system available for Windows, supporting permissions, encryption, journaling, and large volume sizes.

AFAT32

FAT32 lacks file-level security permissions, has a 4 GB maximum file size limit, and does not support journaling or encryption.

BFAT64

FAT64 (also called exFAT) is optimized for flash storage and removable media but does not support ACLs, journaling, or encryption like NTFS does.

CuFAT

uFAT is not a standard recognized file system specification and is not a valid option in mainstream Windows environments.

DNTFSCorrect

NTFS (New Technology File System) supports granular access control lists (ACLs), EFS encryption, disk quotas, journaling for fault tolerance, and volume sizes far beyond FAT limits. These features make it significantly more secure, scalable, and advanced than any FAT-based file system.
