I'm a little confused by this question. The deployment is forecasted to need 256 GB, but the options include 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB. Does that mean the minimum amount that can be allocated is actually higher than 256 GB? I'll have to re-read the question carefully and think about it some more.

This seems like a pretty straightforward Scrum question. I'd probably start by reviewing the Scrum framework and the responsibilities of the Scrum Master.
