Explanation
FM2 is an AMD-proprietary CPU socket used for AMD A-series APUs and some Athlon processors. Among the listed options, it is the only AMD-compatible socket. Socket H (LGA 1156) (B) is an Intel socket used for first-generation Core i-series CPUs. ZIF (C) (Zero Insertion Force) is a generic socket mechanism descriptor, not a brand-specific socket standard. Socket 2011 (LGA 2011) (D) is an Intel socket for high-end Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge-E processors. Only FM2 is compatible with AMD CPUs.
