B) LBA mode is the clear winner here. I can almost hear the hard drive spinning faster just thinking about it.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote this question is still using a floppy disk drive. LBA mode is where it's at!

I'm not sure, but I think option C) Create a partition that resides entirely below the first 1024 cylinders might also work.
