What are two benefits of installing Grid Infrastructure software for a stand-alone server before
installing and creating an Oracle database?

A.
Effectively implements role separation

B.
Enables you to take advantage of Oracle Managed Files.

C.
Automatically registers the database with Oracle Restart.

D.
Helps you to easily upgrade the database from a prior release.

E.
Enables the Installation of Grid Infrastructure files on block or raw devices.

Explanation:
C: To use Oracle ASM or Oracle Restart, you must first install Oracle Grid
Infrastructure
for a standalone server before you install and create the database. Otherwise, you must
manually register the database with Oracle Restart.
Desupport of Block and Raw Devices
With the release of Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2) and Oracle RAC 11g release 2 (11.2),
using Database Configuration Assistant or the installer to store Oracle Clusterware or Oracle
Database files directly on block or raw devices is not supported.
If you intend to upgrade an existing Oracle RAC database, or an Oracle RAC database with
Oracle ASM instances, then you can use an existing raw or block device partition, and perform a
rolling upgrade of your existing installation. Performing a new installation using block or raw
devices is not allowed.

3.4 Desupport of Block and Raw Devices

With the release of Oracle Database and Oracle RAC 11g release 2 (11.2), using Database Configuration Assistant or the installer to store Oracle Clusterware or Oracle Database files on block or raw devices is not supported.

If you intend to upgrade an existing Oracle RAC database, or an Oracle RAC database with Oracle ASM instances, then you can use an existing raw or block device partition, and perform a rolling upgrade of your existing installation. Performing a new installation using block or raw devices is not allowed.

So I think E is not correct.

578455.1 Announcement of De-Support of using RAW devices in Oracle Database Version 12.1
754305.1 Announcement on using Raw devices with release 11.2

Block or raw devices couldnt be used directly but they can be used through ASM, so Grid infra could help in achieveing that.

I didn’t find anything supports for A
D If you have an Oracle ASM installation from a prior release installed on your server, or in an existing Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, you can use Oracle Automatic Storage Management Configuration Assistant (Oracle ASMCA) to upgrade the existing Oracle ASM instance to 11g Release 2 (11.2), and subsequently configure disk groups, Oracle ASM volumes and Oracle ASM file systems.
