A Correct answer
Explanation

LUN (Logical Unit Number) masking is done at the storage array level to control which specific LUNs each HBA can access. Since zoning (at the switch level) already allows all 3 HBAs to reach the same port, you need LUN masking to restrict which storage devices each HBA can actually use. Option C also has a typo ('zoming' instead of 'zoning').
