CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 334

A technician is installing the Mac OS X operating system. The technician is prompted to select the filesystem.
Which of the following filesystems should the technician utilize to install the listed operating system?

Answer options

• A. Ext2
• B. FAT32
• C. HFS
• D. NTFS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct filesystem for installing Mac OS X is HFS, as it is specifically designed for Apple's macOS. Ext2 and NTFS are not compatible with macOS, and while FAT32 can be used, it does not support some of the features required by Mac OS X, making HFS the best option.
