Why each option
DISKPART is the built-in Windows command-line utility for creating, deleting, and managing disk partitions, including on Windows XP.
'Part' is not a valid Windows command-line utility for partition management.
DISKPART is a command-line interpreter included in Windows XP and later versions that allows administrators to manage disks, partitions, and volumes. It replaced the older fdisk tool for Windows NT-based systems and supports creating, deleting, formatting, and assigning drive letters to partitions through an interactive scripting interface.
fdisk is a legacy tool used in MS-DOS and Linux environments; it is not the correct tool for managing partitions on Windows XP.
'Active' is a subcommand used within a DISKPART session to mark a partition as active, not a standalone partition management command.
