I have doubts about this question, you may be right but I can't find anything to corroborate it. Where can I find this information?

Right it is A and D . Option C is incorrect because the contents of the initramfs are mounted in the /initrd directory during the boot process, not in /run/initramfs.

AD for sure..here is why The kernel will then open the initramfs (initial RAM filesystem). The initramfs is an archive containing a filesystem used as a temporary root filesystem during the boot process. The main purpose of an initramfs file is to provide the required modules so the kernel can access the “real” root filesystem of the operating system" An initramfs is a compressed file system archive, which can be unpacked to examine its contents.

Choose two answers but there are three correct answers (A, C and D), the temporary filesystem is created at boot time after decompress initramfs on /run/initramfs after system start and is necessary to shutdown the system, with it root filesystem can be unmounted properly.

I agree with you. We all agree D is true, but A: not sure how to uncompressed it, but sure it is possible. Then I checked /run/initramfs and effectively files modification data matches today corresponding with boot. If someone can tell why C is not true, I'll be thankful!
