A.
From File and Storage Services, extend Disk1.

B.
From File and Storage Services, add a physical disk to the storage pool.

C.
From Disk Management, extend the volume.

D.
From Disk Management, delete the volume, create a new volume, and then format the volume.

E.
From File and Storage Services, detach Disk1.

Explanation:
Step 1 (B): if required add physical disk capacity.
Step 2 (A): Dynamically extend the virtual disk (not volume).
The File and Storage Services role and the Storage Services role service are installed by default, but
without any additional role services. This basic functionality enables you to use Server Manager or
Windows PowerShell to manage the storage functionality of your servers.
Windows Server 2012 Storage Space subsystem now virtualizes storage by abstracting multiple
physical disks into a logical construct with specified capacity.
The process is to group selected physical disks into a container, the so-called storage pool, such that
the total capacity collectively presented by those associated physical disks can appear and become

manageable as a single and seemingly continuous space. Subsequently storage administrator creates
a virtual disk based on a storage pool, configure a storage layout which is essentially a RAID level,
and expose the storage of the virtual disk as a drive letter or a mapped folder in Windows Explorer.
The system administrator uses File and Storage Services in Server Manager or the Disk Management
tool tore scan the disk, bring the disk online, and extend the disk size.

    I made a test using my LAB – answer A & B
    1) first I added a new disk to storage poll
    2) second I extended my virtual disk

    Now in disk managament I can see that old volume disk is possible to extend BUT THE QUESTION IS ABOUT EXTEND DISK NOT VOLUME so C answer is not for this example (but it is good next step for using bigger volume)
