Why each option

Epsilon is a special quorum vote in NetApp ONTAP clusters that can be manually moved between nodes using cluster commands.

AThere is a specific epsilon for each replicated database unit

Epsilon is a single cluster-wide quorum vote held by exactly one node at a time, not a per-replicated-database-unit construct.

BIf the node with epsilon is rebooted, epsilon will automatically move to another available node

Epsilon does not automatically relocate when the holding node reboots - the cluster must negotiate quorum without it, and epsilon must be manually reassigned after the node rejoins.

CEpsilon can be moved manuallyCorrect

Epsilon can be manually moved from one node to another using the 'cluster modify -epsilon false' command on the current holder and 'cluster modify -epsilon true' on the target node. This is a supported administrative operation used during planned maintenance to control which node holds the tiebreaker vote in a cluster quorum.

DEpsilon cannot be moved manually

This is factually incorrect because epsilon can be moved manually using cluster modify commands.
