Why each option

Folder Options in the Windows Control Panel contains the setting to show or hide file name extensions for known file types.

AFolder OptionsCorrect

Folder Options (also called File Explorer Options in newer Windows versions) has a 'View' tab with a checkbox labeled 'Hide extensions for known file types' - unchecking this option makes all file extensions visible and editable in File Explorer.

BSystem

The System control panel applet manages hardware, device manager, and system properties, not file display settings.

CSecurity Center

Security Center (Windows Defender Security Center) monitors antivirus, firewall, and security health status and has no file extension settings.

DUser Accounts

User Accounts manages account credentials, types, and passwords, and is unrelated to file name extension visibility.
