What is the maximum partition size for FAT 16?

2.1 GB
4 GB
2 TB
128 PB

The correct answer is: 2.1 GB

The maximum partition size for FAT 16 is 2.1 GB. This is because FAT 16 was designed in the 1980s when hard drives were much smaller and computers had much less memory. Option B, 4 GB, is incorrect because it exceeds the maximum size for FAT 16. Option C, 2 TB, is incorrect because it is a partition size for modern file systems such as NTFS. Option D, 128 PB, is incorrect because it is an extremely large size that exceeds the maximum capacity of most computers and file systems. Therefore, A, 2.1 GB, is the most accurate and appropriate answer for the maximum partition size for FAT 16.
