D Correct answer
Explanation

FC-SAN and iSCSI-SAN are both SAN architectures but differ in fundamental ways: FC uses Fibre Channel protocol over specialized fiber/copper networks with dedicated FC switches, while iSCSI uses standard TCP/IP over Ethernet. They differ in bandwidth characteristics (FC typically higher), switching technology (FC switches vs Ethernet switches), and the underlying protocol (FCP vs iSCSI/TCP/IP).
