Why each option

To drive dual monitors from a docked laptop, two video output ports are needed - VGA and HDMI are the standard display-specific ports commonly found on laptops.

AVGACorrect

VGA (DE-15) is a standard analog video output port widely available on laptops and connects directly to monitors for display output.

BIEEE 1394

IEEE 1394 (FireWire) is a high-speed serial data transfer interface used for peripherals like cameras and external drives, not for display output.

CPCIe

PCIe is an internal motherboard expansion bus architecture, not an external port available on a laptop.

DPCMCIA

PCMCIA is a legacy laptop card slot for add-on peripherals, not a video output port.

EExpressPort

ExpressPort is not a recognized standard port name - ExpressCard is a slot type for expansion cards, not a video output interface.

FHDMICorrect

HDMI is a digital video and audio output port common on laptops that supports high-definition display signals required for modern stationary monitors.
