Adam's got some serious skills if he's using ADS to hide his tools. Does he also have a secret underground lair and a cat to pet while he schemes? Jokes aside, A is the correct answer here.

I bet Adam's the kind of guy who thinks he's the next L33t H4x0r. Hiding his tools in ADS? Classic. Definitely Windows and NTFS, not that Linux mumbo-jumbo. A all the way, my dude.

Alternate Data Streams, huh? Sounds like Adam's been watching too many hacking tutorials on YouTube. I'm guessing he's not using a toaster oven to run his malware, so A is the way to go.

Ah, the old ADS trick. Gotta hand it to Adam, he's trying to be sneaky. But I think he's got the right operating system - Microsoft Windows, not Linux. Go with option A!

Well, this seems like a no-brainer. Adam is clearly using the NTFS file system, which is where Alternate Data Streams are a feature. Linux doesn't have this, and FAT doesn't either. As for Windows 98, that's just ridiculous.

I'm not sure, but I think C) Adam is using FAT file system is incorrect because ADS is not supported in FAT.
