With Volume Manager 4.0 the RAID configuration models are classified in terms of RAID levels.
These levels are defined by the number of disks in the array, the way data is spanned across the
disks, and the method used for redundancy.
With RAID-5 implemented what are the specific features and performance benefits?

A. Parity can be used to reconstruct data if one of the disks fails. In comparison to the
performance of striped volumes, write throughput of RAID-5 volumes decreases, because
parity information needs to be updated each time data is accessed.
B. Parity can be used to reconstruct data if one of the disks fails. In comparison to the
redundancy of striped volumes, redundancy of RAID-5 volumes decreases, because parity
information needs to be updated each time data is accessed.
C. A stripe can be used to reconstruct data if one of the disks fails. In comparison to the
performance of non-striped volumes, write throughput of RAID-5 volumes increases, because
parity information does NOT need to be updated each time data is accessed.
D. Parity cannot be used to reconstruct data if one of the disks fails, because parity information
needs to be updated each time data is accessed. Stripe can be used to reconstruct data if one
of the disks fails.
