What requirement needs to be considered before configuring Replication Factor of 1 (RF1)?
Before configuring a Replication Factor of 1 (RF1), it is crucial to consider the node count. RF1 sacrifices data redundancy, which means that if a node fails, the data on that node will be lost. Therefore, understanding the number of nodes in the cluster is a key requirement to ensure that the system can tolerate the lack of redundancy and maintain operational stability.
While 'A' is definitely a major consideration when deciding to use RF1, the only "requirement" for RF1 listed, is the node count. Answer's 'D'.

RF1 is a new feature introduced in AOS 6.0.1 to improve performance and reduce capacity needed for workloads which do not require data resiliency such as temporary data for analytics or when the data resiliency is handled at the application level.
D. Node count. The major to consideration is a minimum host number.
