Which two provide connectivity to Fabric Extenders? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. UCS 6300 series C. UCS 6400 series. Fabric Extenders in the Cisco UCS architecture require a Fabric Interconnect as their parent device, and both the UCS 6300 and 6400 series Fabric Interconnects support FEX connectivity.

Why each option
Fabric Extenders in the Cisco UCS architecture require a Fabric Interconnect as their parent device, and both the UCS 6300 and 6400 series Fabric Interconnects support FEX connectivity.
The UCS 6300 series are Fabric Interconnects that support connectivity to Fabric Extenders, providing upstream network connectivity and centralized management for FEX devices.
UCS B-Series servers are blade servers that connect into the Fabric Interconnect; they do not act as parent devices providing connectivity to Fabric Extenders.
The UCS 6400 series are next-generation Fabric Interconnects that also support Fabric Extender connectivity, extending server access ports across the UCS domain.
UCS S-Series are scale-out storage servers used for high-capacity workloads and do not serve as upstream parent devices for Fabric Extenders.
UCS E-Series servers are compute modules designed to install inside Cisco ISR routers and have no role in providing FEX connectivity.
