Why each option

To achieve fault tolerance with asynchronous redundancy for block-level storage, a Storage Area Network (SAN) with replication is the most appropriate configuration.

ANAS with cloning

NAS provides file-level storage, not block-level, making it unsuitable for the requirement.

BDAS with mirroring

DAS with mirroring typically provides local fault tolerance and usually implies synchronous mirroring, not asynchronous redundancy for broader disaster recovery scenarios.

CJBOD with mirroring

JBOD offers no inherent redundancy; implementing mirroring on JBOD provides local RAID-level fault tolerance, similar to DAS, and typically synchronous within a single system.

DSAN with replicationCorrect

A SAN provides block-level storage, and replication is a common mechanism to create redundant copies of data across different locations. Asynchronous replication specifically writes data to the primary location first, then replicates it to the secondary without waiting for the secondary write, thereby establishing fault tolerance with asynchronous redundancy.
