D Correct answer
Explanation

The F8 key during Windows startup allows you to access the Advanced Boot Options menu, which lets you step through and control the boot process. This menu provides options like Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Boot Logging, and Enable Boot Logging, which are essential for troubleshooting startup problems. The other function keys (F1, F2, F5) serve different purposes during boot - F1/F2 typically access BIOS setup, and F5 is not commonly used for boot options in standard Windows installations.
