  1. The /fstest filesystem is out of space

  4. A user is logged into the /fstest filesystem.

C Correct answer
Explanation

The mount point directory /fstest must exist before mounting. The error explicitly states a path component doesn't exist, which directly points to a missing directory. Out of space would return different errors (ENOSPC), and a logged-in user wouldn't block mounting.
