The ext3 and ext2 filesystems preallocate a fixed number of inodes when creating a new filesystem instead of generating them as needed. Ext3 is built on top of ext2, adding journaling capabilities, but retains the same inode preallocation structure. This means both ext3 and ext2 have a static allocation of inodes.
Look like B and D, since it is true for ext2, and ext3 is just an ext2 with a journal. Regarding ext2: http://www.science.unitn.it/~fiorella/guidelinux/tlk/node101.html
JFS Inode Dynamic ext3 Inode Static XFS Inode Dynamic ext2 Inode Static procfs N/A (Virtual System)
I think B and C are correct!!
XFS dynamically allocates inodes.
