Why each option

Windows Server provides two primary interfaces for adding and managing storage volumes: Disk Management as a standalone tool, and Computer Management as an MMC console that includes Disk Management as a sub-component under Storage.

AComputer ManagementCorrect

Computer Management is a Microsoft Management Console snap-in (compmgmt.msc) that aggregates several administrative tools under one interface, including Disk Management under the Storage node, allowing administrators to initialize disks, create partitions, and add new volumes without opening a separate utility.

BSystem Properties

System Properties (sysdm.cpl) exposes system information, hardware profiles, remote access settings, and advanced performance options, but contains no disk partitioning or volume creation capabilities.

CDevice Manager

Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) is used to view hardware devices, update or roll back drivers, and manage device status, but it does not provide any interface for creating or managing storage volumes.

DDisk ManagementCorrect

Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) is the dedicated Windows storage management tool that provides full functionality for initializing disks, creating and formatting partitions, assigning drive letters, and extending or shrinking volumes.

EMy Computer

My Computer (or This PC) is a shell namespace view in File Explorer that displays existing mapped drives and their available space, but provides no tools to partition disks or provision new volumes.
