D. The cluster remains online until the next reboot and an alternative boot disk is used.

B. The cluster is in a split-brain condition until at least one other LLT link is working.

C. The fencing race is initiated and service groups are failed over the winning nodes.

D. Service groups are unable to failover when resource faults occur, but can failover if a system fault occurs.
