Why each option
A user's profile in Salesforce controls various permissions and access settings, including Field-level Security, Record Type assignments, and which applications are assigned and visible to them.
Locale settings (such as language, timezone, and currency format) are primarily controlled by individual user's personal settings, although a profile might set a default value, the user typically has the ability to override it.
Field-level security (FLS), which determines a user's access (read, edit, hidden) to individual fields on an object, is directly controlled by their assigned profile. This ensures data visibility and modification rights are consistent with their role.
Profiles are used to assign which record types are available to a user and to set a default record type for new records they create, guiding data entry and business processes. This ensures users interact with relevant page layouts and picklist values based on record types.
Feature licenses, which grant access to specific Salesforce features like Service Cloud or Marketing Cloud, are assigned directly to individual users, not through their profiles.
A profile determines which applications (apps) a user can see and access from the App Launcher, allowing administrators to tailor the user experience by providing access only to relevant functional areas.
