Which function key is used to start Safe Mode in Windows NT?
The correct answer is D. Windows NT does not support Safe Mode. Unlike later versions of Windows, Windows NT 4.0 and earlier operating systems do not natively support a Safe Mode boot option that is typically accessed via the F8 key.

Why each option
Unlike later versions of Windows, Windows NT 4.0 and earlier operating systems do not natively support a Safe Mode boot option that is typically accessed via the F8 key.
F10 is not the function key used to start Safe Mode in any common Windows version, nor did Windows NT support such a mode.
While F8 is the common key for Safe Mode in many Windows versions (starting with Windows 2000), Windows NT 4.0 and earlier did not have this feature.
F6 is not the function key used to start Safe Mode in any common Windows version, nor did Windows NT support such a mode.
Windows NT 4.0 and earlier versions do not include the 'Safe Mode' startup option, which was introduced with Windows 2000. Troubleshooting on Windows NT involved different methods, such as using the Last Known Good Configuration or directly editing startup files.
