Why each option
For a hard disk requiring five primary partitions and containing 4TB of free space, GPT (GUID Partition Table) is the necessary partition style.
EFS (Encrypting File System) is a file-level encryption feature, not a disk partition style.
GPT (GUID Partition Table) supports disks larger than 2TB and allows for a virtually unlimited number of partitions, making it suitable for a 4TB disk requiring five primary partitions.
MBR (Master Boot Record) has limitations of supporting a maximum disk size of 2TB and only up to four primary partitions.
FAT32 is a file system, not a disk partition style, and has significant limitations on individual file and partition sizes.
