Why each option

VMFS5 supports up to 32 extents for datastore spanning and extends greater-than-2TB device support to VMFS volumes, Physical RDMs, and Virtual RDMs.

ASupport for greater than 2TB storage devices for only VMFS and Physical RDMs

This is incorrect because VMFS5 also extended greater-than-2TB support to Virtual RDMs, not just VMFS volumes and Physical RDMs.

BSupport for up to 32 extentsCorrect

VMFS5 supports a maximum of 32 extents, allowing a single datastore to span multiple LUNs for expanded capacity.

CSupport for greater than 2TB storage devices for VMFS, Physical and Virtual RDMsCorrect

VMFS5 lifted the 2TB barrier for all three storage types - VMFS volumes, Physical RDMs, and Virtual RDMs - whereas earlier versions had stricter 2TB limits, particularly for Virtual RDMs.

DSupport for up to 64 extents

VMFS5 supports a maximum of 32 extents, not 64; 64 extents is not a valid VMFS5 specification.
