Which file system is used by Mac OSX and supports read and write operations to FAT32 and exFAT?

  1. NTFS

  2. HFS+

  3. FAT 16

  4. ext3

The correct answer is: HFS+

HFS+ (Hierarchical File System Plus) is the file system used by Mac OSX. It is an improved version of the original HFS file system, and it supports both FAT32 and exFAT for read and write operations. NTFS is used by Windows operating systems, while FAT16 is an older file system that is less commonly used. ext3 is a file system used by Linux operating systems.
