The correct answer is D. The customer will lose access to the data on nodes 3 and 4 but will still have access to storage in. An HA pair is two storage systems (nodes) whose controllers are connected to each other directly. In this configuration, one node can take over its partner's storage to provide continued data service if the partner goes down.
