The correct answer is A. Compression C. Deduplication. In a mixed workload with both full clones and non-persistent Citrix MCS desktops: Compression (A) benefits full clone VMs by reducing the storage footprint of unique, non-duplicated data through inline or post-process compression.

Explanation
In a mixed workload with both full clones and non-persistent Citrix MCS desktops: Compression (A) benefits full clone VMs by reducing the storage footprint of unique, non-duplicated data through inline or post-process compression. Deduplication (C) benefits MCS non-persistent desktops by identifying and eliminating identical data blocks shared across all cloned VMs from the same master image. Together they address both workload types. Erasure Coding (B) is for capacity efficiency on cold data and adds CPU overhead. RDMA (D) is a networking technology, not a storage efficiency feature.
