Which two options could be used to increase performance of the file server virtual machine?

Users are complaining that they cannot access their files on a file server virtual machine.
The vSphere Client shows that a triggered alarm stating disk latency is beyond the default
threshold for the datastore where the file server virtual machine is located. The path
selection policy has been set by the ESXi host to Fixed with default path settings. Which two
options could be used to increase performance of the file server virtual machine? (Choose
two.)

A.
Change the path selection policy to Round Robin.

B.
Change the path selection policy to Most Recently Used (MRU).

C.
Use vMotion to relocate the VM to an ESXi host with lower HBA saturation.

D.
Use disk shares to increase the priority for the datastore housing the file server virtual
machine.

A ok, one might have a SAN where one fabric is ‘overloaded’
C could be, if the HBA is saturated (this is however very unlikely unless an 1gbit/2gbit HBA)
D seems likely to me, however nowhere one speaks of SIOC. IF SOIC was in place, I’d increase the share value , but then we are tricked aren’t we ? As the shares are set per VM ‘or vDisk?) surely not at the datastore level. So reading word for word leaves A & C afterall
