Explanation

MD stands for 'Make Directory' and is the correct command to create a new directory in Windows command prompt (e.g., MD C:\NewFolder). Its alias MKDIR also works. RD (C) stands for 'Remove Directory' and deletes an existing directory - the opposite of what is needed. CD (D) stands for 'Change Directory' and is used to navigate between existing directories, not create them. SFC (B) stands for 'System File Checker' and is a Windows utility that scans and repairs protected system files - completely unrelated to directory creation. MD is the precise command required.
