Explanation

Ext4 (Fourth Extended Filesystem) is the standard, native filesystem for Linux. It is the default filesystem for most major Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, etc.) and is optimized for Linux kernel features including journaling, large file support, and performance. A) FAT32 is a legacy cross-platform filesystem with a 4 GB file size limit - unsuitable as a Linux root filesystem. B) HFS (Hierarchical File System) is Apple's macOS filesystem, not used on Linux. C) NTFS is Microsoft Windows' native filesystem; while Linux can read/write NTFS partitions, it is not designed to be a Linux root filesystem. Ext4 is the correct and expected answer for any standard Linux installation.
