Why each option
Windows NT does not include a Safe Mode boot option; that feature was introduced in later Windows versions.
F10 is not associated with any special boot mode in Windows NT and does not trigger Safe Mode in any Windows version.
F8 is used for Safe Mode in Windows 9x, 2000, XP, and later, but Windows NT 4.0 does not present a Safe Mode option when F8 is pressed at boot.
F6 is used during Windows NT/2000 setup to load additional SCSI or RAID drivers, not to initiate any boot recovery mode.
Safe Mode as an interactive boot recovery option was not part of Windows NT 3.x or 4.x. Windows NT offered 'Last Known Good Configuration' via the boot loader for recovery, but the F8 Safe Mode menu familiar from Windows 9x and later Windows 2000/XP did not exist in the NT 4.0 product line. Pressing F8 during NT boot affects the OS Loader menu, not a Safe Mode selection.
Concept tested: Windows NT boot recovery options and Safe Mode absence
