Answer: B

Explanation:

HPE StoreVirtual DSM for Microsoft MPIO (Multi-Path Input Output) enhances performance by ensuring that the storage system holding a copy of the requested data services the read I/Os. This capability allows the DSM to optimize I/O paths by directing read requests to the most appropriate node, reducing latency and improving throughput, as it ensures that the data is accessed from the nearest or least busy copy.
