Why each option
Windows 98 setup stores its registry tools - primarily REGEDIT.EXE - in the Windows directory, represented by the path $SYSTEMROOT$WINDOWS (typically C:\WINDOWS).
There is no REGISTRY subfolder created under the system root by Windows 98 setup for storing registry tools.
In Windows 98, the registry editor (REGEDIT.EXE) and related tools are placed directly inside the main Windows installation directory, which is C:\WINDOWS. The variable $SYSTEMROOT$ represents the system root drive, making $SYSTEMROOT$WINDOWS equivalent to C:\WINDOWS, the correct default location.
Windows 98 does not create a WINDOWSREGISTRY subdirectory; this path does not exist as a default Windows 98 setup location.
The SYSTEM32 directory structure belongs to the Windows NT/2000/XP family; Windows 98 uses C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM, not SYSTEM32, and registry tools are not placed there.
