CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 621

A technician needs to format a USB drive to transfer 20GB of data from a Linux computer to a Windows computer. Which of the following filesystems will the technician MOST likely use?

Answer options

• A. FAT32
• B. ext4
• C. NTFS
• D. exFAT

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The technician is most likely to use exFAT because it is compatible with both Linux and Windows systems, and it supports large file sizes beyond the limitations of FAT32. While NTFS is a good option for Windows, it may not be as universally supported on Linux without additional configuration. ext4 is primarily for Linux and would not be suitable for Windows compatibility.
