An administrator has determined that the storage space is low within a Nutanix cluster environment.

Here the uploaded answer key says C, but official Nutanix documentation supports D. Nutanix documents that the Recycle Bin retains deleted VMs and volume groups for up to 24 hours by default, and space is not immediately reclaimed while those deleted entities are still being retained. Nutanix also provides a specific workflow to clear space used by the Recycle Bin immediately. That behavior matches the question perfectly: the VMs were deleted earlier today, yet space has not come back. The most likely reason is that the deleted VMs are still in the recycle bin.

The answer mentioning “Medusa once every 24 hours” is not the correct interpretation for this symptom. Nutanix’s documented retention mechanism is the recycle bin, not a once-daily reclaim cycle as the main reason space stays consumed immediately after deletion. So based on the official docs, D is the authentic answer.
