   A VxRail cluster has four nodes, each with 8 TB of raw storage. The cluster is using a vSAN storage policy with FTT=1. The administrator wants to remove one node to reduce costs. The cluster currently has 20% free capacity. What is the most likely outcome if the administrator proceeds with the removal?

   • AThe removal will fail because the cluster does not have enough free capacity to rebuild the data from the removed node.
   • BThe removal will succeed, and the cluster will automatically adjust the storage policy to FTT=0.
   • CThe removal will succeed, but the cluster will be in a degraded state until new nodes are added.
   • DThe removal will succeed, but the cluster will have reduced performance due to fewer nodes.
