Which storage design recommendations would meet the requirements?

An architect is designing storage for a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:

✑ Asynchronous replication is required between two sites.

✑ The impact on the storage layer should not impact the performance of the compute layer.

✑ Each application tier will require different replication attributes.

✑ Virtual machine live migration across compute and storage must be supported.

✑ Virtual machine aware back up will be leveraged.

✑ Operational management overhead should be minimized.

✑ Operational automation should be supported.

Which storage design recommendations would meet the requirements?
A . Two new Fibre Channel storage arrays will be deployed, one at either site. Each application tier will be initially provisioned a new LU
B . Data replication will be offloaded to the new arrays.
C . Two new vSphere clusters enabled with vSAN will be deployed, one at either site. vSAN will be used to provide policy-based management for each application tier.
vSphere Replication will be used to replicate the virtual machine data in an asynchronous configuration.
D . Two new ISCSI storage arrays will be deployed, one at either site.
Each application tier will be initially provisioned a new LU
E . Data replication will be offloaded to the new arrays.
F . Two new storage arrays will be deployed, one at either site.
vSphere Volumes (vVOLs) will be used to provide policy-based management for each application tier. Data replication will be offloaded to the new arrays.
