How do you create NFS export within clustered ONTAP?
The correct answer is C. Define an export policy and rules under a data Vserver. NFS exports in Clustered ONTAP are configured by creating an export policy with associated rules under a data Vserver, which owns the volumes being shared. Admin and node Vservers do not host data volumes and therefore cannot own export policies for client access.

Why each option
NFS exports in Clustered ONTAP are configured by creating an export policy with associated rules under a data Vserver, which owns the volumes being shared. Admin and node Vservers do not host data volumes and therefore cannot own export policies for client access.
Node Vservers are internal system SVMs used for cluster management traffic and do not host data volumes or serve NFS to external clients.
The admin Vserver (cluster management SVM) manages cluster-wide settings and does not own data volumes or NFS export configurations.
Data Vservers own the NFS-served volumes and the export policies that control client access to them; creating the export policy and its rules at the data Vserver level correctly ties the policy to the volumes and LIFs that clients connect to.
Export policy rules must be defined under the same data Vserver as the policy itself; splitting policy and rules across the data Vserver and admin Vserver is not a valid or supported configuration.
