Why each option
Disk quotas are the correct tool to enforce a hard limit on how much disk space a user is permitted to consume, directly addressing the policy violation.
Disk quotas allow an administrator to set a maximum storage allocation per user or group, preventing any individual from exceeding their authorized disk usage. When a user reaches the quota limit, the OS refuses additional writes, enforcing the acceptable use policy automatically. This directly solves the repeated violation described without requiring manual intervention each time.
Resource pools manage CPU and memory allocations among virtual machines, not per-user disk space on a file system.
LUN masking controls which hosts or HBAs are permitted to see and access specific storage LUNs, not how much space a user account may consume.
Reservations guarantee a minimum amount of a resource to a VM or user, but do not cap or restrict maximum usage.
