What system requires the use of GPT?

BIOS
CMOS
UEFI
EFI

The correct answer is: UEFI

UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is a modern type of firmware interface that replaces BIOS and EFI. It is designed to replace traditional BIOS firmware on computers and support the newer hardware standards. Therefore, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor), and EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) do not require the use of GPT (GUID Partition Table). However, GPT is required for UEFI systems in order to allow for larger disk sizes, more partitions, and improved data redundancy and reliability.
