Explanation

DisplayPort is designed with backwards and cross-compatibility in mind. Using passive or active adapters, DisplayPort can output DVI (C) and HDMI (E) signals, making it highly versatile for connecting to monitors or displays that use those standards. This is a key feature of the DisplayPort specification. USB (A), SATA (B), and FireWire (D) are entirely different interface standards for data and storage/peripheral connectivity - DisplayPort has no compatibility with those protocols. The question tests knowledge that DisplayPort can tunnel or adapt to other display standards, specifically DVI and HDMI.
