C is the correct
man dumpadm:
If the dumpadm -m option is used to create a minfree file
based on a percentage of the total size of the file system
containing the savecore directory, this value is not
automatically recomputed if the file system subsequently
changes size. In this case, the administrator must re-
execute dumpadm -m to recompute the minfree value. If no
such file exists in the savecore directory, savecore will
default to a free space threshold of one megabyte. If no
free space threshold is desired, a minfree file containing
size 0 can be created.
