Why each option

The architect should install two Provisioning Services servers in each of the three farms to ensure high availability and redundancy for vDisk streaming services.

AOne server in each farm

A single server in each farm would create a single point of failure, which is unacceptable for production environments requiring continuous availability.

BTwo servers in each farmCorrect

Installing two Provisioning Services servers in each farm is a standard best practice to ensure high availability and redundancy for vDisk streaming. This configuration prevents a single point of failure, allowing target devices to continue booting and streaming from the remaining server if one server within a farm experiences an issue.

CTwo servers in the primary farm, two servers in the secondary farm, and one server in the remaining

This option suggests an uneven distribution of servers across farms, which might imply varying load or criticality but does not represent a standard high availability strategy for 'each of the three farms.'
