Why each option

To create a new directory (folder) on a Windows workstation, the 'md' (make directory) command should be used.

Ac:\minutes

c:\minutes is a path, not a command to create a directory.

Bdir

dir is a command used to list the contents of a directory.

Crmdir

rmdir (remove directory) is a command used to delete an empty directory.

DmdCorrect

The 'md' command, short for 'mkdir' (make directory), is used in the Windows command prompt to create a new folder or directory at a specified path. For example, 'md C:\minutes' would create a folder named "minutes" on the C: drive.
