I would go for 1 and 3, as it states which volumes are possible, and they are both possible, just not at the same time.

'Volume1 and Volume3' is incorrect because of the single volume limitation.

Selected Answer: A

In Windows Server 2019 and later, you can only create a DAX volume on a Storage Spaces or Storage Spaces Direct configuration that uses a single persistent memory disk, with no parity and no redundancy. You can't use DAX across more than one persistent memory disk, and you can only use DAX with NTFS.

since this example doesn't talk about which OS you're using, consider the correct answer to be A.

and Volume4 is using the ReFS file system, the correct answer would be "No. Volume Only4". However, this depends on the file system that each volume is using. As I mentioned before, Direct Access (DAX) is only supported on the ReFS file system on Windows. Therefore, you can only use DAX on volumes that are formatted with ReFS

Direct Access (DAX) is only supported on the Resilient File System (ReFS) file system on Windows. Therefore, you can only use DAX on volumes that are formatted with ReFS. If the volumes are using the NTFS file system, you cannot use DAX. Since dax can't be used on NTFS and on disks in use, we only have disk 4, so the correct answer is B

Correct Answer is A - Can only be on one Volume , its possible for this to be on 1 or 3 not 1 & 3 therefore C is incorrect
