A. B. C. D.B.
In a stripe set configuration, data is written across multiple disks in a way that divides the data into stripes, which are distributed across the disks. This allows for faster data access as the data can be read from or written to multiple disks simultaneously.
To calculate the size of the stripe set, we need to use the smallest disk size available. In this case, one disk has 150GB and the other has 250GB. Therefore, the smallest disk size is 150GB.
To create a stripe set, we need to allocate an equal amount of space on each disk. Therefore, we can only allocate 150GB on each disk, giving us a total size of 300GB (150GB + 150GB).
So the answer is option B. 300GB.
