The correct answer to this question is D. File Server Resource Manager (FSRM).

FSRM is a built-in feature of Windows Server that allows administrators to manage and monitor the usage of disk space on a server. With FSRM, you can set quotas for users, groups, and folders to limit the amount of storage space that each user can consume. This is useful in environments where you need to control the amount of data that users can store on a server to prevent disk space exhaustion.

To configure quotas in FSRM, follow these steps:

  1. Open the File Server Resource Manager console.
  2. Expand the Quota Management node in the console tree.
  3. Right-click on Quotas and select Create Quota.
  4. Select the path to the shared folder (UserData in this case).
  5. Choose the type of quota you want to set (i.e., hard or soft quota).
  6. Specify the size limit for the quota (e.g., 1GB).
  7. Select the users or groups that the quota will apply to.
  8. Save the quota settings.

Once quotas are set in FSRM, users will be prevented from exceeding their allocated storage space. If a user attempts to save a file that exceeds their quota, they will receive an error message.

Storage Spaces (A), Work Folders (B), and Distributed File System (DFS) Namespaces (C) are not applicable in this scenario as they are not designed to manage disk space usage at the individual user level.
