A storage administrator in a virtualized environment has been told by a user that there is no space left on the volume to which the user can write. However, a check reveals that there is 20GB of unuse

The correct answer is B. The drive is thin provisioned. Thick provisioning allocates storage space up front in anticipation of future needs, which can cause inefficiency and wasted space. Thin provisioning involves using virtualization technology to give the appearance of having more physical resources than are actually available.
