Which equipment policy is directly affected by the number of links between a fabric interconnect and an I/O module?
The correct answer is D. chassis/FEX discovery policy. The chassis/FEX discovery policy in Cisco UCS directly controls the number of links established between a Fabric Interconnect and an I/O module.

Why each option
The chassis/FEX discovery policy in Cisco UCS directly controls the number of links established between a Fabric Interconnect and an I/O module.
The global power allocation policy manages power consumption and distribution across the chassis and servers and does not directly relate to the number of links between a Fabric Interconnect and an I/O module.
The rack management connection policy is concerned with how rack-mount servers are connected for management purposes, which is distinct from the uplinks between a Fabric Interconnect and an I/O module in a blade chassis.
The firmware auto sync server policy automates the synchronization of firmware versions on servers, a function unrelated to the physical link configuration between Fabric Interconnects and I/O modules.
The chassis/FEX discovery policy defines how Fabric Interconnects discover and configure the I/O modules (FEXes) within a chassis, including the expected number of uplinks (links) from the I/O module to the Fabric Interconnect, which impacts bandwidth and redundancy.
