Update: I selected "Something else" and created two partitions from the free space:
i) an 8 GB swap partition
ii) i set the rest of the free space to Ext4 with / as the mount point.
I left the default /dev/sda for the boot loader installation.
Following installation my laptop originally booted into windows. It was straightforward to change to the ubuntu grub bootloader in the UEFI settings. Everything seems to be working as it should be.
Massive thank you to stevef. Your feedback gave me the confidence to proceed with the installation.
