Explanation
CHKDSK /R performs the most thorough scan: it locates bad sectors, recovers readable information, and implicitly includes the /F flag (which fixes file system errors and index corruption). Booting into Recovery Console bypasses the group policy restriction that blocks in-Windows execution. The /I switch (A) is an NTFS-only flag that performs a less rigorous index check - it skips some checks for speed and would not constitute a 'full diagnostic.' Disk Defragmenter (B) and Disk Cleanup (C) do not perform file system diagnostics or fix index errors.
