      Since the max size for a vmfs volume (and/or extent) is 2TB so I should create a 64 TB since the max number of extent is 32 (32 extents x 2TB = 64TB)?
      Any ideas?

   The question asking for VMFS-3 and not for VMFS-5
   Extent the LUN is not available for VMFS-3 so the right answer should be A!
   VMFS-3 with 8MB block = 2T-512
