According to this resource FSx for Windows f/s can be used on Linux and Windows using SMB protocol: https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/windows/ Built on Windows Server By providing fully managed storage built on Windows Server, Amazon FSx provides a rich set of administrative features that include end-user file restore, user quotas, and Access Control Lists (ACLs). Amazon FSx integrates with your on-premises Microsoft Active Directory (AD) as well as with AWS Microsoft Managed AD. With Windows Server's native support for the SMB protocol, Windows-based applications have access to fully compatible shared file storage.

Ok i am not sure what doc you guys are reading, from the doc, You can choose between four widely-used file systems: NetApp ONTAP, OpenZFS, Windows File Server, and Lustre. So the Linux OS is not on this list, which means that the only possible solution is A.
