Explanation:
Volumes that are candidates for deduplication must conform to the following requirements:
* (not A) Must not be a system or boot volume. Deduplication is not supported on operating
system volumes.
* Can be partitioned as a master boot record (MBR) or a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and
must be formatted using the NTFS file system.
* Can reside on shared storage, such as storage that uses a Fibre Channel or an SAS array,
or when an iSCSI SAN and Windows Failover Clustering is fully supported.
* Do not rely on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs). You can access data if a deduplicationenabled volume is converted to a CSV, but you cannot continue to process files for
deduplication.
* (not C) Do not rely on the Microsoft Resilient File System (ReFS).
* Must be exposed to the operating system as non-removable drives. Remotely-mapped
drives are not supported.

Volume requirements for deduplication

Volumes that are candidates for deduplication must conform to the following requirements:
-Must not be a system or boot volume. Deduplication is not supported on operating system volumes.
-Can be partitioned as a master boot record (MBR) or a GUID Partition Table (GPT), and must be formatted using the NTFS file system.
-Can reside on shared storage, such as storage that uses a Fibre Channel or an SAS array, or when an iSCSI SAN and Windows Failover Clustering is fully supported.
-Do not rely on Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs). You can access data if a deduplication-enabled volume is converted to a CSV, but you cannot continue to process files for deduplication.
-Do not rely on the Microsoft Resilient File System (ReFS).
-Can’t be larger than 64 TB in size.
-Must be exposed to the operating system as non-removable drives. Remotely-mapped drives are not supported.

can’t be drive C: system data
can’t be drive E: REFS file system

that leaves drives D,F,G

The answer is correct, you can get rid of drive C and E then you are left with 3 (and your answer!)

Joe

Joe

C because it has system data and E because it is ReFS
