Why each option

This question asks to identify two server components that help manage and direct airflow for cooling.

ARiser cards

Riser cards provide expansion slots for additional cards but do not directly assist with airflow management.

BWater cooling

Water cooling uses liquid to transfer heat away from components and does not directly assist with directing or managing airflow.

CShroudCorrect

A shroud is a physical barrier, often made of plastic, designed to channel or direct airflow efficiently over specific server components, preventing air from escaping or recirculating.

DBaffleCorrect

Baffles are internal dividers or plates used within a server chassis to guide cooling air along a precise path, ensuring critical components receive adequate airflow and minimizing hot spots.

EHeat sinks

Heat sinks are passive devices that dissipate heat from components but do not actively direct or manage the airflow itself.
