B.
Mapping requests for blocks on the virtual disk to blocks on the appropriate physical device

Explanation:
iSCSI SAN Configuration Guide ESX ESXi vCenter Server, page 19.If the iSCSI initiator is a hardware iSCSI initiator (iSCSI HBA), the HBA performs the following tasks.
Encapsulates I/O requests into iSCSI Protocol Data Units (PDUs). [A above]Encapsulates PDUs into TCP/IP packets. [C above]
Sends IP packets over Ethernet to the iSCSI storage system.
