Any common one, often MP3 or MP4. If you’re importing on a PC, don’t use WMA.

There isn’t one. Apple stopped putting them into new iMac models in 2012.

I believe Apple stopped putting optical drives in all its computers several years ago. You have to purchase an external drive such as Apple's Superdrive or pretty much any other external optical drive brand.
oh wow how do I import a new cd I just bought to my itunes ?
You use an external optical drive, or import the songs on a different computer and drag-copy the song files.

Thank you trying to do that now what format should they be in ?

The format depends upon the quality you desire and where you are going to play it. Some formats are not supported on all hardware.
Compressed formats with minor quality loss - mp3, m4a (Mp4-audio) - also the smallest files
Compressed format with no quality loss - ALAC
No compression, full quality - AIFF or WAV.
Note: WMA files can only be played on PC based hardware, not iTunes for Mac. WAV files will not be as portable as other formats because metadata (titles, names, etc.) will not travel with the file.
