Answers
D.
From Container Advanced Settings, configure 100GB for reserved capacity.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

To limit a datastore to a specific capacity within a Nutanix cluster, the best approach is to configure the advertised capacity in the Container Advanced Settings. Setting the advertised capacity to 100GB ensures that this amount of storage is reported to external entities (like hypervisors or operating systems) as the total usable capacity of the datastore, effectively preventing the storage of additional data beyond this limit. This method is preferred over reserving capacity, which guarantees space for specific uses but doesn't limit the total size visible to the system.
