answer should be B. the key part of question is "What can the administrator implement with minimal administrative effort to address these needs?" PVS would work but the setup and implementation would not be minimal'. https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2016/08/03/introducing-mcs-storage-optimisation/

I think it's B because Admin wants to reduce write on storage, then you should use MCSIO

Selected Answer: C
Advantages over using traditional MCS provisioning By using the temporary memory cache, you can significantly reduce your I/O write load on storage. You are trading RAM for storage I/O, which means you can scale up the hosted machines on your shared storage or downsize its requirements.

answer should be A. the question say "The administrator would like to reduce the total number of writes on the storage." he talks about a single storage the MCS I/O optimization use at least 2 differents storage repository (Provides the ability to place differencing disks on separate local storage)

Do not think, that ctx pvs implementation is a "minimal effort"), so B

True, but the question states minimal ADMINISTRATIVE effort - not implementation effort. Once implemented, PVS does not require much effort.

also not that this is a local storage situation. that is called out in this article: https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2016/08/03/introducing-mcs-storage-optimisation/ "With reduced I/O load from the memory caching mechanism, you can use local storage for temporary data, which can be a more cost effective option than using shared network attached storage."

A is right. PVS with Cache in RAM with Disk Overflow greatly reduces IOPS
