Explanation

Windows 2000 supports multiple file systems for backward compatibility and functionality. FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32-bit) is supported for compatibility with earlier Windows versions. CDFS (Compact Disc File System, also called ISO 9660) is supported for reading CD-ROM media. NTFS4 (the NTFS version from Windows NT 4.0) is supported - Windows 2000 can read and access NTFS4 volumes and will upgrade them to NTFS5 when formatted or converted. HPFS (High Performance File System, developed for OS/2) was supported in earlier Windows NT versions (3.x) but support was dropped in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, making D incorrect. NTFS5 is the native NTFS version introduced by Windows 2000 itself - it is what Windows 2000 writes natively, so it is the version it creates rather than a legacy format it 'supports' reading, making E incorrect in this exam's framing (the question tests knowledge of supported incoming/compatible formats).
