Why each option

Group Policy is the primary tool used in Windows environments to restrict device installation by applying specific policies to users and computers.

ADefault domain policy

The Default Domain Policy is a specific Group Policy Object (GPO) but Group Policy itself is the overarching tool that contains the settings for device restriction, not just the default policy.

BGroup PolicyCorrect

Group Policy provides specific settings under Computer Configuration - Policies - Administrative Templates - System - Device Installation, which allows administrators to prevent or allow the installation of specific types of devices.

CDisk Management

Disk Management is a utility for managing disk drives and partitions, not for restricting device installations.

DFile share properties

File share properties configure access to shared folders, not device installation restrictions.
