Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server

You need to prepare the data disks for the Storage Spaces Direct implementation.
What should you do?

I agree with D. Drives already have volumes, they should be cleared before setting up s2d. Step 3.1 below https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/deploy-storage-spaces-direct

Drives to be used for S2D need to be clean, ala, no partitions or other data. Reference: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/deploy-storage-spaces-direct#step-31-clean-drives

I think D as given answer is correct. ReFS, about B, is recommended to S2D. However it isn't essential. It is possible for S2D to use NTFS. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/plan-volumes "Choosing the filesystem"

Volumes are created after S2D. S2D needs all that wiped clean to build the foundation. then worry about ReFS later.

B. Initialize GPT, create ReFS Microsoft recommends using the Resilient File System (ReFS) for Storage Spaces Direct. ReFS is the premier filesystem built for virtualization and offers many advantages, including dramatic performance accelerations and built-in protection against data corruption.
