Explanation

On the HP Z440 workstation, the two USB 2.0 ports are located on the rear panel above the four USB 3.0 ports (B), which is the standard layout HP used to separate legacy and high-speed ports on this tower's back I/O cluster. Option A is wrong because keyboard ports are not part of the workstation's built-in I/O layout. Option C is wrong because the front panel charging port is paired with USB 3.0 ports, not USB 2.0. Option D is wrong because the front panel positions the USB 2.0 ports above, not below, the two front USB 3.0 ports - and the main USB 2.0 cluster lives on the rear anyway.

Memory tip: Think "2 before 3 - rear before front." The USB 2.0 ports sit above (i.e., before) the USB 3.0 ports on the rear panel, reflecting older technology placed higher on the back I/O stack.
