Why each option

Fibre Channel technology requires a physical adapter, specifically a Host Bus Adapter (HBA), to connect servers to a Fibre Channel storage area network.

AFC Initiator

An FC Initiator is a logical role (e.g., a server's HBA) that initiates I/O, not a distinct physical element required in addition to an adapter.

BMulti-Mode fibre

CPhysical AdapterCorrect

Fibre Channel requires a physical adapter, known as a Host Bus Adapter (HBA), to be installed in a server. This HBA provides the physical interface and performs the necessary protocol conversions to communicate over the Fibre Channel network to storage devices.
