D
We recommend that you create non-root pools with whole disks but keep in mind that root pool disks need an SMI label from which to boot.

The disk that is intended for the root pool must have an SMI (VTOC) label.

D is correct.

A ZFS root disk with an EFI label looks like this:

partition> p
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 67092413 + 16384 (reserved sectors)

Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 BIOS_boot wm 256 256.00MB 524543
1 usr wm 524544 31.74GB 67092446
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 67092447 8.00MB 67108830

A non root disk, also EFI labeled, looks like this:

partition> p
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 33537981 + 16384 (reserved sectors)

Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 256 15.99GB 33538014

5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 33538015 8.00MB 33554398
