It has been mentioned several times on this list.

Printer means PDF is exported as CMYK (the "printer" here means the
profession, not the device)

Screen/web means RGB (and is to be used for most desktop and office
printers, because they are made to accept RGB data and trying to print
a CMYK PDF to those devices mean that the CMYK will first be converted
to RGB by the computer and then to CMYK again by the printer driver)

Grayscale means (if I understand right) CMYK without CMY (intended for
when you print with only black ink).
