Explanation:

7-Zip is a free, widely used file archiver for Windows that supports extraction of TAR files, along with many other formats. Command prompt on Windows does not natively support TAR extraction without additional setup, ArcCatalog's tools are focused on GIS data management rather than general TAR extraction, and while WinZip can handle TAR, 7-Zip is a standard, free option commonly recommended for this task on Windows.

Answer:

C) Use 7-Zip
