Why each option

Disk Management is the built-in Windows tool that displays disk types and partition styles needed to determine spanned volume eligibility.

ASystem Information

System Information displays hardware and software inventory data but does not show disk partition styles or volume types.

BDisk ManagementCorrect

Disk Management shows whether disks are initialized as Basic or Dynamic. Spanned volumes require Dynamic disks, and Disk Management is the tool that both identifies the current disk type and allows conversion and creation of spanned volumes across multiple drives. It provides the authoritative view of disk configuration.

CDevice Manager

Device Manager manages hardware drivers and device status but does not expose disk volume configuration or partition information.

DTask Manager

Task Manager monitors running processes, CPU, memory, and disk I/O performance but cannot display or configure disk volume types.
