Why each option
Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 added support for Infinite Volumes for large unstructured data namespaces and retained Flash Cache support for read-caching acceleration.
External USB storage is not a supported data interface in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2.
MetroCluster was not a fully supported feature in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 for all configurations; its support in cDOT arrived later and is not listed as a correct answer here.
Infinite Volume was introduced in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 as a special volume type designed to store large amounts of unstructured data within a single logical namespace, spanning multiple nodes in the cluster.
Flash Cache (PAM II/PCIe read-cache cards) was supported in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 to accelerate random read workloads by caching frequently accessed data blocks in high-speed flash memory.
Infiniband is not supported as a data interface in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2; supported data interface types are Ethernet and Fibre Channel.
SnapLock compliance and enterprise functionality was not supported in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2; SnapLock support for cDOT was introduced in later releases.
