    Answer is correct. It’s B.

    I just tested this in my lab. I created a 4Tb VHDX file, when I brought it online it asked if I wanted it to be BASIC or GPT. I said BASIC and it automatically partitioned into 2 just like in the screen shot.

    From there, if I right click on it (where it says DISK 1) – I only get the option to convert to GPT. The option to convert to Dynamic is greyed out.

    Once it is converted to GPT, I then get the option to convert to a Dynamic Disk.

    Therefore D is invalid because you must convert to GPT first, before becoming dynamic.

    You can test this easily enough in a lab for yourselves if you want. Just attach a 4000Gb dynamically expanding VHDX to a test VM.

    The correct answer is B. The disk is an MBR disk, which can only address 2048GB of space, this is why there is two blocks of unallocated space showing. The second block is actually unusable unallocated space, converting to a GPT disk removes this limitation and will allow the whole of the disk to be used.
