    Per the quoted text, “the /boot partition alone requires 1100MB.”
    This would mean that an answer of “/boot 1250MB” is incorrect. The boot DISK, not partition, requires 1.25GB of space. The /boot partition requires 1100.

    I wonder which would be the answer as the VCP410 exam would have it.
    If ther answer was “/boot 1200MB,” I would say that is easily contestable.
