A technician is preparing a 4 TB disk for a new file server that must be bootable on a modern UEFI system. The server will run Linux and needs to support multiple operating systems in the future. Which partitioning scheme and tool combination should the technician use?

Use fdisk to create an MBR partition table with a single primary partition.

Use gdisk to create a GPT partition table with an ESP and a Linux filesystem partition.

Use fdisk to create a GPT partition table with a single partition covering the whole disk.

Use parted to create an MBR partition table and then format the entire disk as a single ext4 filesystem.
