Explanation
ext3 (Third Extended Filesystem) is the correct choice for a Linux primary partition. It is a mature, journaling Linux-native filesystem with broad compatibility and stable performance. ExFAT (A) is a Microsoft format designed for flash/removable drives and cross-platform use - not a Linux OS partition. NTFS (B) is the Windows filesystem; Linux can read/write it but would never use it as a native install target. Swap (D) is not a user-data filesystem at all - it is a dedicated partition used as virtual memory overflow and cannot host an OS installation.
