Why each option
Modern ATX motherboards use a 24-pin main power connector from the power supply, which is a standard that evolved from earlier 20-pin designs.
ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) motherboards are the most common form factor for desktop PCs and natively use a 24-pin main power connector from the power supply, sometimes referred to as a 20+4 pin connector.
AT (Advanced Technology) motherboards are an older form factor that used two separate 6-pin P8 and P9 connectors, not a single 24-pin connector.
BT motherboards are not a standard motherboard form factor.
While ITX (Information Technology eXtended) motherboards also typically use the ATX power standard including the 24-pin connector, ATX is the broader and foundational standard that defined this connector.
