CNext Available
DPriority
ECluster-wide

Explanation

ONTAP supports three failover group types: system-defined (auto-created per broadcast domain), user-defined (manually created), and cluster-wide (a system-defined group spanning all cluster ports).

Common mistakes.

C. 'Next Available' is a LIF failover policy that selects the next available port in priority order, not a type of failover group.
D. 'Priority' is not a recognized failover group type; it does not exist as a category in ONTAP networking - failover policies like 'system-defined' handle ordering behavior.
