Explanation

ITX (specifically Mini-ITX) is the smallest desktop motherboard form factor available among the listed options. In order of size from largest to smallest: ATX (305×244mm) > Micro-ATX (244×244mm) > Mini-ITX (170×170mm). BTX was an alternative layout standard developed by Intel that never gained wide adoption and is now largely obsolete. For a customer prioritizing the smallest possible desktop footprint, Mini-ITX systems and their corresponding small form factor cases are the correct recommendation.
