Answer: A,B

Explanation:

To support the deployment of HPE 3PAR StoreServ with 16GB/s Fibre Channel (FC) in an existing environment that includes HPE BladeSystem with Virtual Connect Flex-10 and ProLiant Gen8/Gen9 servers, the appropriate products to include are:

HPE B-Series 16GB SAN switch: This switch is necessary to provide the high-speed 16GB/s FC connectivity between the BladeSystem and the 3PAR StoreServ array, ensuring that the performance issues are addressed with minimal changes to the environment.

HPE 16GB/s Fibre Channel HBA for Blade servers: The FC HBAs (Host Bus Adapters) are required for the blade servers to connect to the 16GB/s FC SAN, enabling end-to-end high-speed connectivity from the servers to the storage array.
