Why each option

When everything on a display appears excessively large and the viewing area is restricted, it indicates that the screen resolution is set too low for the monitor. Increasing the display resolution will make elements appear smaller and increase the usable screen space.

AColor depth

Color depth affects the number of colors displayed, not the size of elements or viewing area.

BOrientation

Orientation changes whether the display is in landscape or portrait mode, not the size of elements.

CDPI settings

DPI settings (scaling) make text and apps larger or smaller but are distinct from resolution, which defines the total pixels available, and the primary symptom points to a low resolution.

DResolutionCorrect

A low display resolution makes elements appear larger on the screen and limits the amount of content that can be displayed simultaneously. Adjusting the resolution to a higher setting, typically the monitor's native resolution, will make elements smaller and expand the effective viewing area, resolving the issue of large windows and limited viewing space.
