You plan to deploy a SharePoint Server 2013 server farm. Your company frequently creates large video files that can be up to 40 GB in size. You need to recommend a solution to ensure that users can…
The correct answer is D. Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) and content sources. Handling very large video files up to 40 GB in SharePoint 2013 requires Remote BLOB Storage to offload files from SQL Server and content sources to enable search-based discovery.

Why each option
Handling very large video files up to 40 GB in SharePoint 2013 requires Remote BLOB Storage to offload files from SQL Server and content sources to enable search-based discovery.
File shares with content sources enable search indexing but do not address the storage challenge of 40 GB files within the SharePoint SQL Server content database.
File shares with shredded storage does not provide a mechanism for users to locate files from within SharePoint sites via search or browse navigation.
RBS with a BLOB cache addresses storage and read-caching of frequently accessed BLOBs but omits content sources, which are required for the Search Service to index and surface video file locations to users.
Remote BLOB Storage (RBS) offloads large binary objects from the SQL Server content database to dedicated external storage, which is critical for files up to 40 GB that would otherwise exceed practical SQL Server storage limits and degrade performance. Content sources are used by the SharePoint Search Service to crawl and index the file locations, allowing users to locate video files from within SharePoint sites through search.
