Why each option

A mount point is an empty directory in an existing file system where a new file system is attached and made accessible. This allows users to interact with the contents of the new file system as part of the existing directory structure.

ASwap space

Swap space is an area on a hard disk used as virtual memory when physical RAM is full, not a location for making file systems accessible.

BMount pointCorrect

A mount point is a directory on a currently accessible file system where another file system is logically attached or 'mounted' to become accessible. When a file system is mounted, its root directory becomes the mount point, and its contents are available through that directory.

CVSAN

VSAN (Virtual SAN) is a software-defined storage solution from VMware, not a concept related to file system accessibility within an operating system.

DVLAN

VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a logical segmentation of a network at Layer 2, unrelated to file system mounting or accessibility.
