Explanation

RAID 10 (also called RAID 1+0) is a nested RAID level that combines mirroring (RAID 1) and striping (RAID 0). It requires a minimum of four drives: two mirrored pairs that are then striped together. RAID 0 and RAID 1 each need a minimum of two drives. RAID 5 requires a minimum of three drives (it uses distributed parity). RAID 10 is the only option here that mandates at least four drives.
