Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com.
The domain contains two member servers named Server1 and Server2.
All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2. Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature
installed. The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1.
Cluster1 has access to four physical disks.
The disks are configured as shown in the following table.
You need to ensure that all of the disks can be added to a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV).
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
two.)
A.
Enable BitLocker on Disk4.
B.
Format Disk3 to use NTFS.
C.
Format Disk2 to use NTFS.
D.
Disable BitLocker on Disk1.
Explanation:
C)
In Windows Server 2012 R2, a disk or storage space for a CSV volume must be a basic disk
that is partitioned with NTFS or ReFS, but you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with
FAT or FAT32.
D)
CSV supports bitlocker, but you would have to enable it on all nodes in the cluster.
Therefore we need to disable bitlocker on Disk1.Incorrect:
Not B. ReFS would work fine. In Windows Server 2012 R2, a disk or storage space for a CSV
volume must be a basic disk that is partitioned with NTFS or ReFS.
Not A. Bitlocker must be enabled on all disks for it to work for a CSV.Use Cluster Shared Volumes in a Failover Cluster

Is ReFS compatible with CSV ?

(In Windows Server 2012 R2, the disk can be provisioned as NTFS or Resilient File System (ReFS).)

Support was added for the functional improvements in chkdsk, for interoperability with antivirus and backup applications, and for integration with general storage features such as BitLocker-encrypted volumes and Storage

-Enable BitLocker on Disk4
-Format disk2 to use NTFS
-Enable BitLocker on Disk4
quoting from
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn383585(v=ws.11).aspx
“Windows Server 2012 has expanded the CSV architecture, now known as CSV2.0, to enable support for BitLocker. When using BitLocker with volumes designated for a cluster, the volume will need to turn on BitLocker before its addition to the storage pool within cluster or put the resource into maintenance mode before BitLocker operations will complete.”
(…)
“BitLocker encryption is available for disks before or after addition to a cluster storage pool. The advantage of encrypting volumes prior to adding them to a cluster is that the disk resource does not require suspending the resource to complete the operation.”
In summary. BitLocker is available either before or after the addition to the cluster storage pool but adding the BitLocker BEFORE, is recommended.
-Format disk2 to use NTFS

In Windows Server 2012, you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with FAT, FAT32, or ReFS.

also on the same link referring something regarding the first choice.

so IMHO the anwsers are A & C

Bitlocker must be enabled on all drives. Besides, why would we enable something already enabled.
