Explanation

Micro ATX (mATX) motherboards are designed to be backward compatible with standard ATX cases. An ATX case supports full ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX boards due to standardized mounting hole positions. BTX is a different, incompatible form factor standard from Intel that never gained widespread adoption. ITX (Mini-ITX) can fit in an ATX case but uses fewer mounting points. 'Ultra ATX' is not a real, standardized form factor. Micro ATX is the correct answer as it is explicitly designed to fit ATX cases.
