Which command will display the path status of MultiPath I/O (MHO) device hdisk1?
The correct answer is A. Ispath-I hdisk1. The AIX lspath command displays the configured paths and their current status for a MultiPath I/O device, making it the correct tool to inspect path health for a specific disk.

Why each option
The AIX lspath command displays the configured paths and their current status for a MultiPath I/O device, making it the correct tool to inspect path health for a specific disk.
lspath -l hdisk1 queries the ODM and driver layer to list each defined path to the MPIO device along with its operational state (enabled, disabled, or failed). This is the dedicated AIX command for MPIO path status inspection and directly answers which paths are available for I/O.
lspv -L hdisk1 reports physical volume attributes such as VG membership and partition counts, not MPIO path status.
chnlspath is used to modify (change) path attributes such as priority or state, not to display current path status.
lsdev -Cp lists devices filtered by connection point or class but does not report MPIO path state or path-level detail.
