A cryptographic service provider (CSP) contains implementations of cryptographic standards and algorithms. At a minimum, a CSP consists of a dynamic-link library (DLL) that implements the functions in CryptoSPI (a system program interface). As Cryptographic Provider Types said, Some advanced application might connect to more than one CSP at a time, but most application generally use only a single CSP.
And if you need RSA only, check it! that is also implied by the checkbox UI.
