To configure the drives on the DAS storage array
The correct answer is A. Use the disk-init.bat script. Configuring drives on an EMC CLARiiON AX150 DAS storage array requires running the disk-init.bat script, which performs the necessary low-level disk initialization before the array can be managed.

Why each option
Configuring drives on an EMC CLARiiON AX150 DAS storage array requires running the disk-init.bat script, which performs the necessary low-level disk initialization before the array can be managed.
The disk-init.bat script is the EMC-provided utility for initializing physical drives on the AX150 DAS storage array. It prepares the drives at a low level so they are recognized and usable by the array firmware. This script must be executed as the first step in the drive configuration process before any higher-level management tools can interact with the storage.
ax150-iscasi-setup is not a valid drive configuration command; it refers to iSCSI network connectivity setup, not physical drive initialization.
The Disk Pools window in Navisphere CLI is used for managing logical storage pool constructs, not for performing initial physical drive configuration on a DAS array.
The Virtual Disks window in Navisphere CLI is used for creating and managing virtual disk objects, which is a later step after physical drives have already been initialized.
