Selected Answer: B

B is correct The case is not true if you upgrade from Oracle Solaris 11 Express. On such upgraded systems, the datalinks retain their names prior to the upgrade. These names would either be the default hardware-based names, or customized names that the administrator assigned to the datalinks before the upgrade.
