You currently have a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance running and need to have read/write access to a volume on an on-premises ONTAP cluster.

FlexCache is the correct answer in this scenario. FlexCache allows read/write access to a volume on an on-premises ONTAP cluster, which is what is required here. Flash Pool and Flash Cache are technologies related to storage caching and do not meet the needs for accessing a volume. SnapMirror is primarily used for data replication and disaster recovery, and typically offers read-only access to the destination volumes, which does not align with the requirement for read/write access.
It is C "Snapmirror". You can snapmirror volumes from on-premise to Cloud Volumes ONTAP and with a "snapmirror break -destination-path <on-premise_SVM:on-premise_Volume>" you will get read/write access to this volume at the Cloud Volumes ONTAP site, even if the volume was running actively on-premise.
Official NetApp documentation "The snapmirror break command breaks a SnapMirror relationship between a source and destination endpoint of a data protection mirror. The destination endpoint can be a Vserver, volume or SolidFire endpoint. When Data ONTAP breaks the relationship, if the endpoint is a volume or SolidFire endpoint, the destination is made read/write and can diverge from the source volume"
Answer is A you need read/write access to volumes on onpremise location. FlashPool is using for read/write worlloads.
snapmirror only offer read-only access to destination volumes
it says, You currently have a Cloud Volumes ONTAP instance running, meaning it's from a cloud to an on-premise right? so should be using Snapmirror. does it make sense? so C
Answer is C. FlashPool, destination is always cloud storage such as AWS S3, GC Storage or Azure Blob not Cloud Volumes ONTAP (never seen it, and it does not make sense)
C is the correct answer Reference: https://cloud.netapp.com/blog/simplified-disaster-recovery-ontap-cloud-snapmirror
B is correct
Falsh cache doesn't allow Read Write operations but Snap mirror do
