B Correct answer
Explanation

iSCSI SAN uses standard Ethernet/IP infrastructure, so it requires Gigabit Ethernet switches (or faster like 10GbE). Traditional FC switches are for Fibre Channel SANs, not iSCSI. iSCSI encapsulates SCSI commands in IP packets, which traverse Ethernet switches. The 'IP' in iSCSI indicates the protocol stack.
