Answer:

The correct option is option A.

Explanation:

The MBR ( master boot record) partitioning scheme maximum partition size is 2 TB.

This limit occurs because the locations were the partitions are stored, can be of a maximum of 4 bytes long, and because the disk works in hexadecimal, the max value it can store is all F's. Thus, we have that the maximum partition sector would be 4,294,967,295, and since each sector is limited to 512 bytes, this result in the partition being limited to only 2 TB.
