Why each option

The 48-Port 16-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module requires the second-generation MDS 9700 platform, making the MDS 9710 the only correct answer among the choices.

AMDS 9509

The MDS 9509 is a first-generation director whose slot and backplane design predates and is incompatible with the 48-Port 16-Gbps FC Switching Module.

BMDS 9513

The MDS 9513 is also a first-generation director chassis and does not support the 48-Port 16-Gbps module, which is exclusive to the second-generation MDS 9700 platform.

CMDS 9710Correct

The Cisco MDS 9710 is a 10-slot second-generation director belonging to the MDS 9700 series, which introduced the backplane bandwidth and slot architecture required to support the 48-Port 16-Gbps FC Switching Module (DS-X9648-768K9); first-generation directors cannot accommodate this module.

DMDS 9506

The MDS 9506 is a smaller first-generation chassis that lacks the hardware and backplane capacity required by the 48-Port 16-Gbps FC Switching Module.
