Why each option
NTFS is the Windows file system that natively supports access control lists (ACLs) and security auditing, making it the correct choice for this requirement.
SMB (Server Message Block) is a network file-sharing protocol, not a file system type used to format a volume.
NTFS (New Technology File System) provides granular permission management through ACLs, allowing per-user and per-group access control on files and folders. It also integrates with Windows security auditing to log access events, directly meeting both stated requirements for the file server.
VMFS (VMware File System) is a clustered file system designed specifically for VMware ESXi datastores, not for general-purpose Windows file servers.
CIFS (Common Internet File System) is a dialect of the SMB protocol used for network file sharing, not a local file system format.
