Why each option

A SharePoint site collection is bound to exactly one content database and cannot span multiple content databases.

AYes

Yes is incorrect because SharePoint enforces that each site collection belongs to exactly one content database, making it technically impossible to associate multiple content databases with the same site collection.

BNoCorrect

Creating multiple content databases for a single site collection is not supported in SharePoint architecture - a site collection has a one-to-one relationship with a content database, meaning all data for a site collection must reside in a single content database. This is a fundamental constraint of SharePoint's storage architecture enforced at the platform level, so this approach cannot meet any design goal that relies on splitting a site collection across databases.
