Explanation

Deploying two mailbox servers in a DAG with RAID 5 arrays is the most cost effective solution NLB is not supported with DAGs and 3-nodes will cost more money. So, the best solution is A. If you plan to deploy multi-role Exchange 2010 servers with both DAG protected mailbox databases and load balanced/highly available CAS server service, you cannot use WNLB due to Windows Failover Cluster (WFC) and WNLB hardware sharing conflicts recovery/load-balancing-exchange-2010-client-access-servers-using-hardware-load-balancer- solution-part1.html
