A customer wants to deploy NVMe/FC along with an existing FC SAN fabric using ONTAP 9.8. In this scenario, which two actions are correct? (Choose two.)

B&C
https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/nvme/support-limitations.html#protocols
A. Enable NVMe/FC on the existing FC SVM. ---> wrong no NVME and FC on the same SVM that means they will utilize new npiv virtual interfaces.
B. Create new zoning on fabric switches. ; Yes zone the new npivs
C. Upgrade your FC switches from 16 GB to 32 GB. ; you need 32GB FC according to netapp doc site.
D. Use existing zoning on fabric switches. ; since NVME and FC can not coexist than you can not use the FC zones you need new zoning.
C & D
"NVME/FC is supported on the platforms listed below with 32GB FC HBAs." https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap/nvme/support-limitations.html#protocols
Not A. "Beginning with ONTAP 9.8, you can configure SCSI, NAS and NVMe protocols on the same storage virtual machine (SVM). " but not FC protocol.
A&B
Ontap 9.8 and later nvme can coexist with other protocolo on same svm.
You can reuse fabric switch, but you need to create new lif with data-protocol nvme-fc. data-protocol cannot be modified after lif is created, so you cannot change any fc lif to nvme-lif and you need to create new. If you create new lif that lif have a new wwpn. So you can use the same switch-fabric but you need to create new zone to add in zoning configuration.
