Why each option
Fibre Channel is a high-speed networking technology specifically designed as the primary transmission media to connect servers to shared storage devices within a Storage Area Network (SAN).
Fibre Channel (FC) is the predominant transmission media and protocol suite used for building high-performance Storage Area Networks (SANs), providing dedicated, high-speed connectivity between servers and storage arrays.
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) is primarily used for direct attachment of storage devices within a server or to an external JBOD, not for building a distributed SAN.
Coaxial cable is an older transmission medium used for analog signals and some legacy networks, not for modern SAN connectivity.
While iSCSI SANs use Ethernet, Fibre Channel is a specific media technology directly associated with SANs, whereas Ethernet is a general-purpose network technology.
