Selected Answer: C

Answer: C) Because it is the only response that has a direct impact to consumed storage. Not A) Because XFS DOES allow fast cloning - no direct correlation to consumed storage. Not B) Because a hung fast cloning process would impact synthetic full creation - no direct correlation to consumed storage. Not D) because XFS DOES allow immutability - no direct correlation to consumed storage.
