A is correct answer definitely After enabling quotas, the second step should be remounting file system Issue the mount -o remount <file-system> command (where <file-system> is the name of the file system) to remount the file system. For example, to remount the /home file system, the command to issue is mount -o remount /home. See reference https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/5/html/deployment_guide/ch-disk-quotas B is not accurate as it only creates group quota file, missing user quota file

Selected Answer: A

A: valid, as explained here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/4/html/system_administration_guide/implementing_disk_quotas B: (?) C: wrong because edquota should be used on username not on directories D: wrong because in this way the right command should be something like "quotaon -a" to mount automatically non-NFS filesystems in /etc/fstab ; or use "# quotaon -vug /home" command to manipulate user and group quota. I suppose.

I agree remounting filesystem is second step in setting quotas according to this link https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/4/html/system_administration_guide/implementing_disk_quotas

Why? It has already been done after fstab is finished. Administrator must enable the filesystem now with answer D. I think provided answer is correct.
