C: correct
First, note that any host may be connected to only 1 storage group on any storage system. This does
not imply that only 1 host may be connected to a storage group; where clustering is involved, 2 or
more hosts may share the same storage group.
No host may be connected to more than 4 storage groups. This means that any host may not use
LUNs from more than 4 storage systems. There may be more storage systems in the environment,
and the host may even be zoned to make them visible at the Fibre Channel level, but connection to
storage groups should not be allowed for those storage systems.
