Why each option

The CTRL+ALT+Arrow key combination is used with Intel graphics drivers to rotate the screen orientation, and pressing the Up arrow restores the display to its standard upright position.

APress the CTRL+CAPS LOCK+ESC key combination on the keyboard.

CTRL+CAPS LOCK+ESC is not a recognized Windows or graphics driver shortcut for screen rotation.

BPress the CTRL+SHIFT+HOME key combination on the keyboard.

CTRL+SHIFT+HOME is a text navigation shortcut used in documents and browsers, not a display rotation command.

CPress the CTRL+TAB+1 key combination on the keyboard.

CTRL+TAB+1 is not a defined system shortcut for display rotation on any major graphics driver or OS.

DPress the CTRL+ALT+ARROW UP key combination on the keyboard.Correct

Intel HD Graphics drivers include a hotkey feature where CTRL+ALT combined with an arrow key rotates the display in the corresponding direction. If the screen is upside down (rotated 180 degrees), pressing CTRL+ALT+Arrow Up rotates it back to 0 degrees (normal landscape). This resolves the issue without entering display settings.
