USB 3.0 would be the correct choice because it supports transfer rates of up to 5 Gbps, which is more than adequate to handle a 10 GB file transfer in approximately 5 minutes. USB 2.0, with a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps, would result in a significantly slower transfer, taking much longer than the 5 minutes achieved with USB 3.0. Similarly, transfer through an Ethernet port would depend on the network standard; unless it's a Gigabit Ethernet, it would be slower than USB 3.0. Lastly, HDMI cables are used for displaying video on a monitor or screen but not for transferring files.
