The correct answer isB. Create an RF1 storage container.
In Nutanix architecture,Replication Factor (RF)is set at thestorage container levelto optimize redundancy and performance for specific workloads. When an application hasits own internal redundancy, such as database clustering or distributed file systems, the administrator may choose toreduce Nutanix’s redundancy to RF1, which stores onlyone copy of datain the cluster. This reduces overhead and maximizes usable capacity, but isnot fault-tolerantat the Nutanix level.
Key clarifications:
RF1 is not enabled by default.Nutanix clusters default toRF2 or RF3depending on the configuration and number of nodes.
RF1 must beexplicitly setwhen creating a storage container.
There isno separate "enable RF1"setting outside of selecting RF1 at container creation; once selected, it applies directly.

Excerpt: "RF1 is typically used for workloads with native redundancy. It must be selected explicitly during container creation."
Conclusion:Onlyoption Baccurately reflects this process.
