Explanation
Dynamic Node Addition in PowerFlex allows new nodes to be added to a running cluster without downtime, and each node contributes both its storage drives and its compute hardware (CPU/RAM) to the pool - making A (Expand storage capacity) and C (Increase compute resources) the correct answers, since both resources scale out simultaneously when a node joins the cluster.
B (Configure Protection Domains) is a management/logical configuration task performed through the PowerFlex Manager or CLI and is completely independent of adding nodes - Protection Domains define fault-domain groupings, not node membership. D (Enable automatic snapshot creation) is a storage policy and volume-management feature, unrelated to the physical or virtual act of adding nodes to the cluster.
Memory tip: Think of a node as a "full server" - when you plug in a new server, you gain both disk space (storage) and processing power (compute). Dynamic Node Addition does exactly that at cluster scale: one action, two resource gains.
