Which feature does NTFS provide that the older FAT32 file system lacks?

Correct answer D. Journaling for recovery plus file permissions through access control lists

Explanation

NTFS logs metadata changes so the volume can be restored to a consistent state after a crash, and it secures files and folders with access control lists, as well as offering compression, encryption and very large volumes. FAT32 has no journal and no per-file security. Both store files in clusters and both have a root directory, so those options do not tell them apart.
