Which two options are file-based storage protocols? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. CIFS D. NFS. File-based storage protocols expose data as files over a network, in contrast to block-level protocols that provide raw storage access.

Why each option
File-based storage protocols expose data as files over a network, in contrast to block-level protocols that provide raw storage access.
Telnet is a remote terminal emulation protocol for managing devices via command line - it has no role in storage access.
CIFS (Common Internet File System) is a file-based storage protocol derived from SMB that allows clients to read and write files over a network as if they were local, operating entirely at the file abstraction layer.
Fibre Channel is a high-speed block-level SAN protocol that exposes raw storage blocks to hosts, not files.
NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file-system protocol enabling file-level access to shared storage over a network, widely used in Unix and Linux environments.
iSCSI encapsulates SCSI block-level commands over IP networks, providing raw block access rather than file-level access.
