Which of the following statements is true about ARX's capacity balancing ability?

The correct answer is A. When new files are created, the ARX can determine in real time where to place each file based. ARX evaluates tiering policies in real time at the moment of file creation, immediately directing each new file to the correct storage tier based on configured rules.

Why each option

ARX evaluates tiering policies in real time at the moment of file creation, immediately directing each new file to the correct storage tier based on configured rules.

AWhen new files are created, the ARX can determine in real time where to place each file basedCorrect

ARX intercepts file creation operations and applies configured policies instantaneously, evaluating attributes such as file type, size, or owning directory to determine the correct storage tier. This real-time evaluation means each new file lands on the appropriate tier immediately upon creation, without any post-creation migration step or administrative intervention.

BWhen configuring the ARX, customers can choose to implement either an age-based policy or a

ARX policy configuration is not limited to a binary choice between age-based or capacity-based policies - administrators can combine multiple criteria for more granular and flexible tiering control.

CAll files created at approximately the same time (within 10 minutes) will be stored on the same tier

File placement is governed by defined policy rules, not by creation time proximity - files created within the same time window are not automatically co-located on the same tier.

DThe ARX balances capacity within tiers A storage, but cannot balance capacity across tiers of

ARX is capable of balancing capacity across multiple tiers of storage, not just within a single tier, making this statement factually incorrect.
