Could anyone, post a link to a official paper, in my research hardware RAID 6 is different from Network RAID 6, hardware RAID 6 minimum disk are 5, 3 data and 2 parity, 3+2, but in Network RAID 6 it needs 4 nodes for data and 2 nodes for parity for initial configuration so 4+2, it needs 6 nodes.

I found a more realivable source and the answer is C (minumum of 5 nodes)
