Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Jumbo frames
Why it's wrong here
Jumbo frames improve performance but are not required for MPIO.
- ✓
Multiple iSCSI target IP addresses presenting the same LUN
Why this is correct
Multiple paths to the same LUN allow MPIO to function.

Why it's wrong here
CHAP is for security, not multipathing.
