Explanation

mkdir (make directory) is the command used to create a new folder from the Windows command line (cmd) or PowerShell. Note that md (option B) is also a valid alias for mkdir in Windows cmd, so both technically work-but mkdir is the full, canonical command and the expected answer on CompTIA exams. cd changes the current directory. sc manages Windows services. ftp is used for file transfers. When in doubt on exam questions, mkdir is preferred over the shorthand md.
