Explanation

CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) is the iSCSI-native authentication mechanism that uses a shared secret (username and password) to authenticate initiators before granting access to a target. Nutanix Volumes exposes block storage over iSCSI, and CHAP is the correct protocol to enforce password-based access control on those iSCSI volumes. iSER (A) is a performance transport protocol, not an authentication method. SAML (B) and LDAP (D) are identity/directory protocols used for user authentication in web or directory services, not iSCSI block storage access control.
