FAT 32 file systems limit files to what maximum size?

  1. 2.1 GB

  2. 4 GB

  3. 16 TB

  4. 2 TB

The correct answer is: 4 GB

The maximum file size for FAT32 file systems is 4 GB. A and D are both incorrect because they are smaller than the actual maximum size of 4 GB. C is incorrect because it is larger than the actual maximum size. FAT32 is a older file system that has limitations compared to more modern file systems, which is why 4 GB is the maximum size allowed.
