You can store OCR and voting disks on Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM), or a certified cluster file system.
Oracle Universal Installer for Oracle Clusterware 11g release 2 (11.2), does not support the use of raw or block devices. However, if you upgrade from a previous Oracle Clusterware release, then you can continue to use raw or block devices. Oracle recommends that you use Oracle ASM to store OCR and voting disks.
I agree. It should be A,D,E.
Answer should be A,B,D as raw device is not a valid option to store voting disk file. In extended cluster third voting disk file can be stored in NFS.

Oracle does not support standard NFS for any files, with the one specific exception documented in this white paper. This white paper will give Database Administrators a guideline to setup a third voting file using standard NFS.
Pankaj: You should stick to the official docs. for 11.2 , not white papers
A, B and D are the correct answers.
A,B and D are the correct answers.
E is wrong. Raw devices are not allowed
A,B,D is the correct answer.
Is E correct? I’ve an upgraded case from 10gR2.
