Why each option
Folder Options in Windows allows users to configure the file explorer to show hidden and system files that are not visible by default.
Action Center monitors security and maintenance alerts such as antivirus status and Windows Update notifications - it does not control file visibility settings.
Utility Manager (now Ease of Access Center) manages accessibility features like Magnifier and Narrator and has no file display settings.
Offline Files manages which network files are cached locally for use without a network connection and does not affect hidden file visibility.
Folder Options (accessed via Control Panel or the View menu in Windows Explorer) contains a 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives' setting under the View tab. Enabling this option causes Windows Explorer to display files and folders marked with the hidden attribute. This is the standard method for revealing hidden files without using command-line tools.
