Explanation

exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table) is natively supported for full read/write access by both Windows and macOS (Mac OS X) without requiring any additional drivers or modifications. It also supports files larger than 4GB, making it superior to FAT32 for modern use cases. CDFS (A) is the CD-ROM file system and is read-only by design. ext4 (B) and ext3 (D) are Linux file systems; Windows does not natively support them, and macOS only offers limited read-only support through third-party tools or kernel extensions - neither meets the 'without modifications' requirement.
