• B. A system that handles the interconnection of hosts to disks drives and allows hosts to directly access the disks and use it as local drives.
• C. A system that has the management software that can provide access to its sets of hard drives or tape libraries for the purpose of data access and storage.
• D. A system that handles the communication of data from end users to its storage location and provide confirmation on successful storage.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a storage array specifically connects hosts to disk drives, allowing direct access as if they were local. Option A refers to network functions, C focuses on management software rather than the interconnection aspect, and D discusses user data communication which is not the main function of a storage array.
