  3. C.Optimize-Volume always shrinks ReFS partitions automatically
  4. D.Adding unallocated space after the volume enables shrinking under all layouts
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • ReFS does not support shrinking

Current ReFS does not support shrinking. Optimization and repair do not add that filesystem capability, and adjacent unallocated space does not remove the restriction; use a supported migration for a smaller layout.
