A is wrong. ACFS snapshots are created under .ACFS/snaps/ of the file system. Disk group free space does not help
B is right. ADVM volume got free space for the file system
C is wrong. it does not matter if there are other ASM files
D is right. snapshots are for ACFS, regardless standalone or RAC
E is wrong. accessible from all nodes

So B. D. are correct
