D) Change the storage policy to 2 failure - RAID-6.
A) Enable Deduplication and Compression on the cluster.
B) Change the storage policy to 3 failure - RAID-1.
C) Enable Compression only on the cluster.

Changing to 2 failure - RAID-6 is risky. Better stick with A for safety.

C could work too, but only Compression might not save enough space.

If I remember correctly, RAID-6 would require more space due to the additional parity, so that option seems counterproductive for reducing utilization.

I practiced a similar question where enabling compression alone was the best option, but I can't recall if it was the same scenario with deduplication.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think changing the storage policy to 3 failure - RAID-1 might actually increase utilization instead of reducing it.

Compression is the way to go! Option C is the clear winner. Who needs deduplication when you've got compression?

I'd go with Option C. Compression alone should be enough to reduce the utilization without impacting the cluster.
