   A company is adding a new SDS node to an existing PowerFlex cluster to increase storage capacity. The cluster currently has a redundancy factor of 2. After the node is added and the storage pool is expanded, what is the immediate impact on the cluster?

   • AThe cluster's capacity remains the same until the new node is rebooted.
   • BThe cluster's performance immediately improves because the new node is used for all I/O operations.
   • CThe cluster's usable capacity increases, and data rebalancing begins to distribute data across the new node.
   • DThe cluster's redundancy factor automatically increases to 3.
