Why each option
NTFS is the only file system among the choices that natively supports disk quotas for tracking and limiting per-user storage consumption.
FAT32 has no user security model or quota management features, as it was designed for compatibility rather than multi-user environments.
NTFS includes a built-in disk quota subsystem that allows administrators to monitor disk usage and enforce per-user storage limits on a volume. This feature relies on NTFS security identifiers (SIDs) to associate disk usage with individual user accounts, a capability absent from all FAT variants.
FAT (FAT16) similarly lacks any security or quota infrastructure, predating multi-user operating system requirements.
CDFS (Compact Disc File System) is a read-only file system for optical media and has no concept of write quotas or user storage limits.
