Explanation

A Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path follows the format \server\share, where 'server' is the hostname or IP address of the machine hosting the resource, and 'share' is the name of the shared folder. For example: \FileServer\Documents. Options A and B incorrectly place 'share' or 'server' in the wrong order or pair it with non-standard fields like 'password' or reversed order. Option C uses \server\username, which is not a valid UNC format - usernames are credentials, not share names.
