Why each option

In the classic Windows Display Properties dialog, the Settings tab contains the multi-monitor configuration options, including the ability to extend the desktop across a second display.

AThemes

The Themes tab manages the overall visual theme of the Windows desktop, including sounds, icons, and colors, and has no monitor layout or extension controls.

BDesktop

The Desktop tab controls the desktop background (wallpaper) image and placement, not multi-monitor configuration.

CSettingsCorrect

The Settings tab in Display Properties (accessed via right-click on the desktop) shows all detected monitors as numbered display icons. A technician can click on the second monitor icon and check the 'Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor' option to enable desktop extension. This tab controls screen resolution, color depth, and multi-monitor arrangement - all hardware-level display settings.

DAppearance

The Appearance tab adjusts visual styles, window colors, and font sizes for the Windows interface, and does not manage monitor arrangement or extension.
