Should be D , from below links shared Nexus required breakout cable from 40GbE QSFP+ to 4x10GbE SFP+ on CN1610 https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2518303

Based on the exhibit, the ONTAP cluster is currently using CN1610 switches, which have 40GbE QSFP+ ports. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q-V switches have 10GbE SFP+ ports. To non-disruptively migrate to the new switches, you will need to use a cable that can connect a 40GbE QSFP+ port on the ONTAP cluster to four 10GbE SFP+ ports on the Cisco Nexus switches. This allows for a seamless transition without disrupting the cluster's operations.

D is the correct answer- you DO NOT cable between the switches- the 100Gbe side is for the cluster and the 25GbE breakouts are for the 3232Q-V switch.

Cisco Nexus 3132-QV is 40Gb with QSFP+ ports. The NetApp CN1610 is 10Gb with SFP+ ports. This means that the NetApp storage connecting CN1610 shall be using 10Gb SFP+. So, to replace the CN1610, answer D is correct and the only choice in this question.

D - you need to senf Cluster Lifs from 1 switch to another usign 4 x 10GB breakout from CN1610 to 3132-QV 40/100GbE switch

As HangLiu wrote - only D make sense

On Nexus 3132Q-V switches, you can operate QSFP/QSFP28 ports as either 40/100 Gb Ethernet or 4x 10 Gb Ethernet modes.
