CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 175

A technician is partitioning a hard disk. The five primary partitions should contain 4TB of free space. Which of the following partition styles should the technician use to partition the device?

Answer options

• A. EFS
• B. GPT
• C. MBR
• D. FAT32

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, GPT, because it supports larger disk sizes and more partitions than MBR. MBR is limited to 2TB disks and can only create up to four primary partitions, making it unsuitable for this scenario. EFS and FAT32 are file systems, not partition styles, and therefore do not apply here.
