They are listed in order by release date, so you'd download the newest version from each category, or just the ones you are in need of. For example, I don't use on-board audio as I use a HT receiver via graphics card bitstream, so I don't need sound card driver.

Audio is not a must? Windows 10 itself installing audio

I'm not fully understanding your comment. Yes I have audio, but I'm using the HDMI audio out through the graphics card. My on-board sound card is disabled in BIOS, since it's not needed.

I would install the audio drivers from the motherboard website personally... if that is what you are asking. Chances are you will be fine with whatever windows installs, but, at least we know with 100% certainty that it works with your system since it is coming straight from the mobo maker.
