Very smartly worded answer should be D.

Not C: New-StorageSubsystemVirtualDisk

Allows the creation of a VirtualDisk object on a storage subsystem that does not support creation of storage pools.

Question says that a virtual disk has been created in a “storage pool” via the “New Virtual Disk Wizard” which means the answer is not C !

It isn’t possible to set a write-back cache custom size by using Server Manager Windows Server 2012 R2. By default, if you create a virtual disk using Server Manager, it will create a 1GB write-back cache if sufficient space exists on solid-state disk (SSD) storage in the pool.
If you want to customize the write-back cache size, use the Windows PowerShell cmdlets and the -WriteCacheSize parameter, for example:
New-VirtualDisk -StoragePoolFriendlyName “My Storage Pool” -FriendlyName TieredSpace -StorageTiers @($ssd_tier, $hdd_tier) -StorageTierSizes @(50GB, 300GB) -ResiliencySettingName Mirror -WriteCacheSize 2GB

Note: After a virtual disk is created, its WriteCacheSize can’t be modified.

After a virtual disk is created, its WriteCacheSize can’t be modified – this means it can’t be A or B.
create a new virtual disk and specify -writecachesize 5GB

Answer is D
