Why each option

Windows Explorer is the built-in file management utility in Windows used to browse, organize, copy, move, and delete files and folders.

ADefrag

Defrag (Disk Defragmenter) is a disk optimization utility that reorganizes fragmented data on storage media, not a tool for managing individual files.

BMSCONFIG

MSCONFIG (System Configuration) manages startup programs, boot settings, and Windows services, and has no file management capability.

CDevice Manager

Device Manager is used to view, update, and troubleshoot hardware device drivers, not to manage files or folders.

DWindows ExplorerCorrect

Windows Explorer (called File Explorer in modern Windows versions) is the primary graphical file management tool, providing a full interface for navigating the file system and performing operations such as copy, move, rename, and delete on files and folders. It is purpose-built for file and directory management on local and network drives, distinguishing it from all other listed utilities.
