Explanation

NTFS (New Technology File System) (C) was introduced with Windows NT and replaced FAT as the default filesystem for Windows. NTFS supports larger file sizes (up to 16 TB per file), file-level permissions, encryption, journaling for reliability, and compression. APFS (A) is Apple's filesystem used in macOS and iOS. FAT32 (B) is an evolution of FAT but is still a FAT variant, not a replacement - it also has a 4 GB file size limit. ext4 (D) is the standard filesystem for Linux, not Windows.
